Governor Eno's Defection Impact: Tensions Rise in PDP Secretariat in Akwa Ibom

The aftermath of Governor Eno's defection to APC in Akwa Ibom State is evident as his portrait still dominates the PDP secretariat six months later. The power struggle intensifies with clashes between rival factions, led by Osagiefo Igwatt Umoren, and attempts to forcefully take over the secretariat.

Former PDP chairman Aniekan Akpan and other party chieftains are at the center of the conflict. The dissolution of the Akwa Ibom State executive council by the PDP's National Working Committee (NWC) led to further discord, with conflicting reports on the approval of this decision.
