If you're going to offer opinions on SS politics, at least get to speed on the various tribe.
Forgive him.from your name,you should be from cross river.anyway,akpabio will deliver 80% of plus votes from oron,ibeno,eastern obolo,part of ikot abasi,part of uyo federal constituency where umanah and akpanudo are popular.this will give buhari 50% of akwa ibom votes.we dont care about the guber polls

Saraki departed APC with the governor, the deputy governor, all Kwara senators, all Kwara house of reps members, the entire state assembly, entire LG chairmen.
Saraki is like Ronaldo while Akpabio is Ahmed Elmohamady of Sunderland.
Akwa Ibom remains PDP and it would remain like that for a very long time.

Be under no illusion Akpabio defecting to APC is a bigger blow to PDp than losing Saraki is to APC. Akpabio will do more damge to PDP in Akwa Ibom than Saraki can do to APC in Kwara and Akpabio doesnt even need to win Akwa Ibom for Buhari, nobody expects him to, all he needs to do is steal some PDP votes and put them in the APC column and win his own seat.

A good hunt by APC even though he isn't stronger than saraki, it's still a good start. The game of politics.

Akwa Ibom has 1m votes, Kwara has only 400k, it is easier for a defector to steal 100-200k votes in Akwa ibom that it is in Kwara.

Apkabia is far more relevant to APC than saraki is to PDP.

Saraki brought 300k votes to APC while Apkabip brought 900k votes to PDP in 2015.

Plus Akpabio is the second financial warchest of PDP and now that he has left, PDPs financial warchest has been slashed in two.

Also, he is coming over to APC with about 15 senators, 15, LGA chairmen and others.

udoms own deputy has just joined him. You should realise how far his hands reach if the governors own deputy is his man.

No two situations are exactly the same bro. it is wrong to compare Akpabio with Saraki. A right comparison would be Akpabio and Kwankwanso.

Akpabio didn't give PDP 900,000 votes in 2019. GEJ is a son of the soil and even with an APC governor, like we saw in Edo and Rivers, Jonathan was bound to win. In Rivers despite the presence of Amaechi as Sitting governor, Jonathan still got 1.4m votes against Buhari 60,000.
Remember PDP had Shekarau on GEJ's side in Kano but Shekarau couldn't swing votes for Jonathan.

In 2019 the tide would change. With both parties fielding northern Muslims , Akpabio can only swing his senatorial district to APC,, and don't expect the see 300,000 voters from his district because of apathy remember a son of the soil is not on the ballot this time.

The APC is badly hit by these defections because the PDP has made major in road into the north and would be fielding an Hausa Muslim. Kano votes would be divided , same for Sokoto. Buhari can't get that 1.9m votes he got from Kano last time. All PDP needs to checkmate Akpabio is to have someone with the Character of Wike as thier campaign manager. Akpabio is a grassroots politician, but he's not a fighter like the Wike's

He's the biggest fool of the year, he has just ended up disgracing himself by telling the whole world that all these while he had been a stooge of Akpabio and having sensing that the advice given to Udom by the PDP stake holders to get rid of all the stooges of Akpabio in his Government will definitely affect him, hence why he had to sheepishly chicken out. Bunch of foolish selmeat idiots.


And what would you say about same happenings in other states? Are the decampees too 'the biggest fool of the year'.

Lol.
Saraki gave APC and Buhari just 300,000 plus votes in Kwara in 2015.
While Akpabio gave PDP 900,000 plus votes in 2015.

Are you insinuating Akpabio could pull off what Saraki pulled off in Kwara?
OK am willing to wait as you suggested. Let's see how Udom and the entire state legislators leave
en-mass for APC.

Saraki delivered 300,000 votes for APC, While Akpabio delivered 900,000 for PDP in 2015.. Now just Imagine that Akpabio is able to deliver half of that which is 450,000 in 2019... now add that to what other APC members will bring to the table... Politics is a game of numbers not

Lol. With all the noise about fighting corruption, buhari decides to use efcc to threaten akpabio to decamp from pdp to apc, rather than prosecute him and recover our stolen money? And you still have people who think buhari has integrity and is fighting corruption? When I say buhari supporters are not intelligent and honest, I actually have a valid reason for saying so. Most of them are also very unintelligent. No difference between buhari and every other corrupt Nigerian leader. They all are same but with different packaging.

PRESS RELEASED

Akwa Ibom deputy governor debunk rumour of resignation

The attention of the Office of the Deputy Governor of Akwa Ibom State has been drawn to certain rumours and misrepresentations in a section of the media to the effect that the Deputy Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Moses F. Ekpo, MFR, has resigned from office.
The reports particularly from the online community further make allusions to the effect that the Deputy Governor has also defected from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Given the temperament of the times and the implications of such innuendos, we are constrained to categorically state as follows:
(i) There is no iota of truth in the story making the rounds.
(ii)The purported report is therefore nothing but a poorly concocted piece of a malicious hatchet job and a pack of lies, and should be appropriately ignored.
(iii)It is instructive to note that currently, His Excellency, the Deputy Governor is representing the State Governor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel as Special Guest of Honour at the 2018 International Convention of Ati Annang holding in New York, United States of America, and is yet to return to the state.
(iv) In his reaction to the rumour from New York on phone today, the Deputy Governor said “I have not resigned. I have no reason whatsoever to resign or jump ship from a government that is both responsive and performing optimally, while giving practical meaning to democratic dividends for the people of Akwa Ibom. I cannot, and will not jump ship”
(v) To that extent, he has called on Akwa Ibom people, both at home and in the Diaspora, as well as the PDP family in the state to remain resolute and committed to support the Governor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, to take Akwa Ibom to the next level.
