Two more commissioners in Akwa Ibom State have publicly reacted to Governor Umo Eno’s defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), clarifying their positions amid swirling resignation rumours.

The Commissioner for Works and Fire Service, Prof. Eno Ibanga, and the Commissioner for Finance, Mr. Emem Almond Bob, have both denied reports suggesting they refused to follow Governor Eno into the APC.

In a statement released by the Information Officer of the Ministry of Works, Evelyn Udobia, Prof. Ibanga reaffirmed his loyalty to the governor, describing the resignation rumours as baseless.

“We wish to firmly and categorically debunk these allegations. Professor Eno Ibanga has not resigned and remains fully committed to his duties as Commissioner for Works and Fire Service,” the statement read.

“Let it be stated for the record that Professor Eno Ibanga’s loyalty to Governor Umo Eno and the istration remains sacrosanct.”

Mr. Emem Bob has also not resigned and has decided to be fully aligned with Governor Eno’s new political direction.

Their positions stand in contrast to Dr. Ini Ememobong, who resigned as Commissioner for Special Duties and Ibom Deep Sea Port following the governor’s defection to the APC on Friday.

In a letter shared with the public, Ememobong stated, “Ipso facto, based on my personal conviction, I will be unable to the All Progressives Congress. I hereby most respectfully tender my resignation as Honourable Commissioner… and a member of the State Executive Council.”

Governor Eno made his defection announcement during an event at the Government House, Uyo, attended by APC leaders including Governors Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Sheriff Oborevwori, Bassey Otu, and Monday Okpebholo, as well as Mrs. Ekaette Unoma Akpabio, wife of the Senate President.

“After completing the rounds of my consultation as your servant whom you have elected to serve, I have therefore decided to progressively move to the APC,” Eno said at the event.

APC is a satanic party from the pit of hell.

It's only a matter of time Bayelsa will and SS will be one family.

Loyalty is the most important thing in politics

I love your sincere confession. It’s rare to find someone who detest and same time, able to appreciate some qualities.

Nigeria and deception. Nobody loves the masses, all the politicians are only looking for ways to enrich themselves. I pray masses will understand this one day.

Stomach infrastructure politics.

LP is a holy party from heaven, so many children on nairaland, emotional children at that, you think calling it a satanic party will make a difference, people are interested in ing church of Satan if they can get money.

Nigerians kill themselves and use their father, mother, brother, sister, friend, anyone for money ritual, how satanic should it get more than that, Nigeria is the only country nobody should be using the SATANIC word like we care, even if Satan appears with a label on his head, Nigerians will obediently follow him if he shares free food, money, cars.

Nigeria youth that are so engrossed in yahoo yahoo, and you want to talk about Satanic party.🙄🙄

.. the strategy Tinubu did is to plant some people in other opposition party like PDP and labour party to destabilize and weaken those parties cause issues, problems, factions so that of those parties can defect to APC.. that is not true democracy

So, which party be the heavenly party?

People have freedom of association, and should be allowed to exercise it as they so please. If it's against the constitution of any party for its to cross to another party, they should debate it in court and refrain from calling names and all that.

APC as it is today is made of of politicians from other parties...the PDP and LP inclusive. So, are these politicians automatically Satan's associates?

I think we all should learn to separate emotions from reality.
