Rt. Hon Edet described the APC as a party of Imposition and pledge his support to Governor Emmanuel and the PDP.

“Your Excellency, I’m happy to come back home.

The things that made me to leave PDP are no more there,” he noted

“When I was in APC, some people tried to play God. They imposed candidates on us.

Senator Ita Enang thinks he’s God. He tries to impose things on our people, but he has forgotten that there is only one God.

“I have the privilege of bringing over 5000 supporters of mine to support Udom Emmanuel in 2019” He added
