Ibanga Etang, an aide to Gov. Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom, has defected to the All Progressive Congress (APC). A few months ago, the governor’s Special Assistant on Electoral Matters, Chris Okorie, had also dumped the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for APC.

Mr. Etang, a former Chairman of Esit Eket Local Government, resigned on April 9, as Special Assistant to the Governor on Projects and formally registered with the APC at his Etebi Ward 7 along with over 300 followers on April 10.

Addressing his supporters at a post-defection meeting on Friday, Mr. Etang said with their entry into APC, the party stood 70 per cent chance of winning Esit Eket Local government Area. Mr. Etang said he left the PDP because of impunity. Issokay!
