The National Coordinator of People's Democratic Party, PDP Defenders Nigeria, Obong Cyril Umoren, has   reacted to Media trolling of Prof. Eno Ibanga, Commissioner designate from Mkpat   Enin Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.

News broke out this morning that the Acting Vice Chancellor of Akwa Ibom State University, AKSU, Prof. Eno Ibanga who goes about bragging that he is ‘the apple of Governor Udom Emmanuel’s eyes’, held a nocturnal meeting last night with skewed session of Mkpat Enin politicians, with the sole agenda of perfecting his bid to personally install all the 14 councilors across the 14 wards of the LGA without the input of the ward leaders of each area.
