Akwa Ibom Commissioner for Information and Special Duties, Ini Ememobong, has tendered his resignation letter to Governor Eno Umo after the latter dumped the Peoples Democratic Party for the All Progressives Party.
Ememobong disclosed this in a statement on his Facebook account on Friday.
According to him, his resignation was due to his unwillingness to join the APC together with his erstwhile principal, Governor Umo.
“Behold another bend. Today, I have tendered my resignation to the Governor in compliance with his directive that his appointees who are unwilling to join him on the political journey to the APC should resign.
“While I cannot question or fault the governor’s personal decision, I am unable to join in that sojourn. My decision is borne out of my belief in politics with principles and my long-standing opposition to that political platform, which is daily validated by numerous Nigerians across many sectors,” he stated partly on his Facebook account on Friday.
This comes after the governor, on Friday officially dumped the PDP for APC.
Earlier he had told members of his cabinet who do not want to decamp with him to resign
