Drama in Uyo: Governor Umo Eno Boots Channels TV Out of Government House Over ‘Loyalty or Leave’ Video Bombshell
UYO – In a move that has stunned journalists and sparked national debate, Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has reportedly kicked out Channels Television’s correspondent and cameraman from the Government House — all because the truth got a little too loud.
The governor’s wrath was unleashed following a viral video aired by Channels TV, which captured him delivering what can only be described as a political sermon to his cabinet: Defect with me to the APC or find your way out.
In the now-infamous clip, Governor Eno didn’t mince words:
> “It’s no longer news that I am moving party. If you don’t know, I don’t know what else you know… Be prepared to resign the day I announce I am moving. You can’t be in my cabinet and play anti-party. I won’t beg you to come.”
Apparently, free speech isn’t part of the Gospel according to Umo.
Sources within the Government House, who understandably begged not to be named (because who wants to be the next one escorted out?), confirmed that Channels Television’s team was swiftly shown the door — no press pass, no prayer.
> “It’s true. The governor was extremely angry. The video embarrassed him. That’s why Channels people were told to leave,” one insider revealed under whispered breath.
Attempts to reach Channels TV’s correspondent Chris Moffat were unsuccessful, but the silence from his end speaks volumes. When journalists become the story, you know something has gone terribly wrong.

This is not just about a video — it’s about power, paranoia, and the price of press freedom in a democracy. If journalists are banished for doing their job, one has to wonder: is Akwa Ibom still a state or a stage for one man’s political audition?
Welcome to Pastor Umo’s Church of Defection — where dissenters get dismissed and cameras are no longer welcome.
