Sen. Ita Enang, a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress, has stated that the state will see more positive developments as a result of Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno switching to the party.
Enang spoke in Uyo, the state capital, on Sunday while reacting to the governor’s defection from the Peoples Democratic Party to APC.
Enang, a former Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly and Niger Delta Affairs said that the governor’s decision had aligned Akwa Ibom to the centre
“Akwa Ibom people will gain so much from the centre following the governor’s latest political alliance,” he said.
Enang urged Akwa Ibom people to look back at gains recorded in the state between 1999 and 2015 when the state had connections with the centre.
“That connection is what the governor’s movement to APC has rekindled. Akwa Ibom people should expect more attention from the Federal Government.
“All our struggles since 2015 have been to achieve this connection, we cannot be in a minority party and expect major developmental projects.
