In a surprising turn of events, Cross River Senator John Eno has publicly rejected the results of the recent APC primary election, in which Mr. Williams was declared the winner. This rejection raises questions about the internal dynamics of the All Progressives Congress in a state where political tensions have been simmering.

The primary election, held on May 17, 2026, was anticipated to solidify party unity ahead of the upcoming general elections. However, Eno's objection suggests dissatisfaction with the electoral process or possible allegations of irregularities. “The integrity of our electoral process is paramount, and we must ensure that every voice is heard and counted,” Eno stated, underscoring his commitment to fair representation within the party.

As the party navigates this discord, it faces the challenge of maintaining cohesion in a critical election year. The implications of this dispute could extend beyond the primary, potentially affecting party loyalty and voter sentiment. Moving forward, how the APC addresses these internal conflicts will be crucial in shaping its electoral fortunes in Cross River and beyond.
