Barrister Emmanuel Enoidem has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom State, strengthening Governor Umo Bassey Eno's initiatives for political unity and inclusive governance. Enoidem's shift is seen as a reflection of the growing support for Eno's leadership style, which emphasizes dialogue and reconciliation.

Governor Eno has engaged various stakeholders to promote inclusivity, including attending events and worship services. A key project under his administration is the Ibom Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Mass Transit Terminal, which will procure 50 CNG-powered buses from Turkey to enhance public transportation.

The governor's approach has been praised by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, reinforcing Eno's image as a unifying leader. As the 2027 elections approach, the effectiveness of Eno's policies will be crucial for Akwa Ibom's political landscape.
