Gov Umo Eno
Comrade Edidem Monday Itoro, the Special Assistant to the Alwa Ibom state Governor on Digital Youth Mobilization, has told his boss, Governor Umo Eno, that he would not be defecting with him to the All Progressives Congress from the Peoples Democratic Party.

According to information made available to The Eagle Online, the governor said this at the State Executive Council meeting held on Thursday in Uyo.
He said anyone not willing to defect with him should be ready to leave his cabinet.
