The commissioner for information in Akwa Ibom State, Aniekan Umanah has explained the rationale behind Governor Uno Eno’s support for President Bola Tinubu.

Umanah said reports of possible defection of the governor from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) is not feasible.

According to Umanah, Governor Eno’s endorsement of the President and Senator Godswill Akpabio is a strategic act of enlightened interest for the state.

He added that such moves by the governor are aimed at unlocking the federal collaborations and all benefits due to the people of Akwa Ibom state.

“This growing synergy has already begun yielding visible benefits and will further facilitate key initiatives like the Ibom Deep Seaport, and Ecological Remediation, amongst others.”

“These leaders have shown clear goodwill toward our State and have publicly acknowledged the Governor’s exceptional performance. This is leadership with foresight,” Umanah said.
