The All Progressives Congress has assured Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, that the party is well-structured and fully prepared for progress, claiming that the Peoples Democratic Party is no longer functional or reliable.
In a statement on Wednesday, APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, likened the party’s leaders to skilled pilots and crew—competent, hospitable, detail-oriented, and ready to serve.
On April 23, Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, accompanied by his predecessor and PDP’s 2023 vice presidential candidate Ifeanyi Okowa, along with other elected officials from the state, officially joined the APC.
Meanwhile, Akwa Ibom State Governor hinted on Wednesday that his defection from the PDP to another political party is imminent.
Eno, indirectly referring to the PDP, stated, “If you wanted to travel with Ibom Airline, and on the verge of taking off, it developed a fault that won’t enable it to fly, wouldn’t you board the next available plane to take you to your destination?”
In response, the APC assured the Akwa Ibom State governor that joining their party would be an unforgettable journey.
The statement read in part, “The All Progressives Congress notes the musing of His Excellency, Umo Eno, Executive Governor of Akwa Ibom State, that likened the Peoples Democratic Party to a faulty aeroplane, incapable of taking safely to the skies, creating an imperative to seek an alternative flight onward.
“We couldn’t agree more that Plane PDP has become demonstrably inoperable and unsafe for travel.
“As safety and comfort are prerequisite conditions for flying, our great Party assures the Governor that Plane APC is fit and ready to fly His Excellency and his entourage to their desired destination.
“Our pilots and crew are highly competent, welcoming, attentive to detail, and on standby to serve.
“We assure Governor Eno that a flight with us will be a mighty good ride to remember.”
