Gov Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has denied reports that he plans on resigning from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Eno clarified this while addressing the circulating rumours due to his bond with Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

Rumours were flying about that Eno was planning to withdraw his PDP membership to join the All Progressives Congress (APC).

However, during a media interaction in Uyo, which coincided with the 37th-anniversary celebrations of Akwa Ibom State over the weekend, Governor Eno urged the public to distinguish between political party matters and governance issues.

The PDP chieftain maintained his respect for Akpabio as Senate President and their joint efforts to foster development in the state.

Governor Eno highlighted the advantage of having the Senate President as a prominent national figure, affirming his commitment to leveraging this position for the benefit of Akwa Ibom State.

He said: “The first thing we get from building this relationship is the peace we are all enjoying. Maybe that’s why some people feel that I am neither here nor there.

“I am a PDP person, I am working for PDP, and as a state, we will continue to support the party. But we must differentiate between party issues and governance issues.

“We are going for election now, and I am working for my party, the PDP and we are campaigning, and we will win. Some people have accused me of my body language.

“I don’t have body language, you misread me. There is no body language. I am working for the PDP, and we have shown the people that we can be trusted.

“There is no local government that we are not doing something in this state, and there is no comparison.

“I want voters to be the ones to decide; compare what is done to what you are seeing and look at what is left.”
