Governor Udom lambasts Senator Akpabio, as PDP mourns exit of senate minority leader.

Gov. Udom Emmanuel has dismissed his estranged godfather and Senate minority leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio, as a greedy, insatiable man who wanted him to be his puppet. He was addressing an emergency PDP stakeholders meeting summoned to address the exit of the former governor from the party.

He told the meeting that he couldn’t surrender the government to the former governor to run from Abuja, hence, their parting of ways. He told the meeting that he did everything to please Akpabio but that he couldn’t be satisfied.

He opened up to the meeting that he had to resort to legal tactics to stop the EFCC from probing how the former governor spent state funds when he was in power but yet he couldn’t be satisfied.

The governor said his estranged godfather is too proud, egoistic and arrogant and that it took him a lot to condone him.

But some of the stakeholders who spoke at the meeting lamented that the party is in big trouble in the state as so many people may follow Akpabio to APC.

A lawmaker hinted that some members of the house of Assembly are on their way out of the party. The meeting agreed that some chieftains of the party be watch listed as they may be moles for Akpabio who’s all out to dislodge Udom from power come next election.

On the 2019 election, the governor told the meeting to brace up for tough and rough times as they are plans by the APC to rig him out of power using federal might and INEC.

The governor was advised to rid the government of all the Akpabio men.

The Senate Minority Leader, Godswill Akpabio, is defecting from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), a presidential aide has said.

President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Assistant on Prosecution, Okoi Obono-Obla, posted a message on Facebook, Saturday night, saying that Mr Akpabio will be received into APC on Thursday by the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo and other top leaders of the party at a rally in Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom state.

Where are all those SANs shouting illegal defection when senators were defecting from APC to PDP?

They should show us how neutral they are by saying the same thing here.

Udom Pls take it easy Oooooo cos this might not end well.

OK, I thought this was just a rumor, he's a big catch. Saraki should watch his back, someone is about to go for his jugular.

APC will take over the government house uyo next year. The formula is simple. Give an Ibibio man the ticket and Akpabio will bring the annang votes to supplement. Udom will surely vacate that office in 2019. APC now has deep roots in rivers and akwa ibom.

Please how is Akpabio a bigger striker than Saraki?

Fact is, Saraki is more popular in the political space of Nigeria than Akpabio and u know it.

That's an elder APC zombie ure addressing. The hypocritical transgendered has no shame at all.

Using the broom is also boosting the local economy, Bakila 2018.

Udom can kiss his second term goodbye. If you didn't want to be loyal you shouldn't have taken that seat. Am afraid PDP is gone in AKS. It will take more than a miracle for PDP to retain AKS.

Look at the goal tally at the last election and the completed pass by way of ballots brought to the boxes.

Shut up!

the solution to the nigeria problem is B####A it is not people jumping from one pdp t apc or from apc to pdp about 97%of those that decamped to pdp from apc this year were the same group who jumped in four years ago and all the little mind who are insulting them today were the same things that were hailing them four years ago and vice vaser, this udom person and his group will surely jump back if by any chance pdp takes power again, the same with almost the group from apc to pdp if apc remains in power, this simply means that nigeria is in a vicious circle and the only people who doesn't want to accept this are those in denial, and nairaland group for obvious reasons and nigerians seem to be enjoying this perpetual backwardness because the only group who want out are collectively hated by the rest, still I will forever remain proud of my father and uncles and that american white boy who saw today from afar

Them dey find oil money wen go supplement CBN+Lag+Kano. Problem is that they went for the wrong person.

All it takes is for GEJ to show up for Udom's re-election final campaign and it's game over. Moreover, Akwa Ibom has a zoning agreement.

Akpabio is simply looking after his own interest and it's smart. Depending on who wins in 2019, he might decamp (PDP will still welcome him with open arms; after all he stood by GEJ when Saraki et al didn't) or continue to build his stock in APC.

The SS is playing long-term. Even in Delta, APC is making some inroads and the elite is giving them leash, because we all know our end game. We're simply borrowing a leaf from the North's book. Same Dankwambo that's hoping for 2m votes in PH and DT is same Dankwambo that campaigned for Buhari even though he was a PDP governorship aspirant in 2015.

The federal money APC is making noise about is ours, so we MUST take our share and give them false hopes. Buhari will not win any SS state (except Edo), but we'd flex with his campaign money. We no come this life kon set kite for any body or region.
