Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno has ordered the eviction of Channels Television’s correspondent and the cameraman from the Government House over a trending defection video.

The video allegedly circulated by the Channels Television surfaced Friday where the governor was seen ordering his commissioners to either defect with him to the All Progressives Congress or resign their positions.

The governor said in the trending video, “It’s no longer news that I am moving party, if you don’t know, I don’t know what else you know. I am told that some of you are saying you will not come, you are free, absolutely free not to join me but you won’t be in my state cabinet.

“So be prepared to resign the day I announce I am moving because you are an appointee and your loyalty is to me. You can’t be in my cabinet and play anti-party. It’s not a threat, it’s what it is. I won’t beg you to come.”

Though the Channel Television reporter, Chris Moffat could not be reached to comment on the issue, a government house source, who pleaded anonymity, confirmed the development.

According to the source. the governor was very angry over the leaked video.

The source said, “It is true, what you heard is true, that is the situation here in the government house. It is not unconnected with the trending video that surfaced on Friday.”
