Eno confirmed his planned defection to the APC and made it clear that only those willing to join him would remain in his government.
“It’s no more news that I’m moving party. If you don’t know that by now, I don’t know what else you know,” Eno said.
The governor further stated that anyone who doesn’t join him in defecting to the All progressive party will not be allowed in his council
“I am told that some of you are saying that you will not come, you are free, absolutely free, not to join me, but you won’t be in my state executive council.
