According to a report that was posted on the official X account of Vanguard on Thursday, a large crowd has reacted after the governor of Akwa Ibom state, Umo Eno asked them if they will follow him to join the All Progressive Congress, APC.
According to report, there was disagreement during a town hall meeting in Ikot Abasi, Uyo after Governor Umo Eno announced that he will be joining the ruling party so that he can connect the state to the centre.
The statement, however, didn’t go well with majority of the people who were present at the gathering which made them to decline.
According to the report that surfaced online, many of the people said they are not ready to follow the governor to the ruling party.
According to Vanguard, the governor stated that;
“We’re progressively moving forward, linking Akwa Ibom to the center. And I know you’re going with us. Are you going with us, so we can connect to the center?”.
However, in response to the governor’s call, a thunderous “No!” erupted from the audience, overshadowing the handful of “Yes” voices, creating a tense atmosphere in the crowded venue at the Ikot Abasi Local Government Grounds.
