Nigeria Eno’s lonely defection: Why Akwa Ibom power brokers are staying put

Deep political divisions inside Akwa Ibom are revealed by the fact that many of Governor Umo Eno’s closest allies are refusing to join the APC, despite his official membership.

This is about identity, pressure, and long-term planning, not just party colors. In Nigerian politics, Eno’s decision to support the APC-led federal administration is not warmly received by many in his own party.

Some see it as a matter of principle. Others might be motivated by fear of political repercussions in 2027 or allegiance to Udom Emmanuel. Eno’s defection may cost him more than just party support; it may also split his political base, as seen by the fact that important figures are openly rejecting his directive.

The true tale might be just getting started, but the defection is over. Without his inner group, will Eno maintain control?
