Akpabio 0 vs 8 Ukarakpa: If Akpabio Couldn't Win At Home..........

By Umani Uwemedimo



In 2012 UEFA Champions League, something extraordinary transpired and it's unbelievable that any of the football fans saw it coming. Chelsea fc of England in 2012 was the worst team in Europe: its players had gone aged and some other ones injured but Fc Bayern Munich at the other end had the best team in Europe as at then.

In the first half of the finals, Bayern Munich fc had oppressed Chelsea in such a way that the ball possession was 15% : 85% in favour of Bayern. Everyone had lost hope, evaluating how Chelsea would possibly loose the trophy to Fc Bayern Munich. This was the case of our Retired Senator Akpabio and Engr. Chris Ekpenyong before the National Assembly elections. Ukarakpa was oppressed financially, physically, emotionally and maybe spiritually. We had heard the story of the six Indian Wizards transported into the State by Akpabio a week to the elections. You would not tell me the August visit wasn't prior to Akpabio's and Ukarakpa's re-election.

While the tempo of the game grew higher in the second half, Chelsea fc players were sluggishly adapting to the game and magically, the team with the worst players were crowned Champion of Europe. It may interest you to note that in the Akpabio vs Ukarakpa, Akpabio was in possession of the ball, might and resources, but lost the match to his opponent who he said had nothing.

While Senator Akpabio who saw himself as a flawless being was circumnavigating, boasting and neglecting his political homework, his opponent, Ukarakpa was at home with his people working on his flaws and also seeking for help inorder to help him triumph over his foe. Akpabio was depending on the powers of money and Federal Might, but Ukarakpa had clinged his hopes solely on God and his people. Akpabio never considered his constituents as anything, he thought since he's in APC that miracles may abound. In such a match, you wouldn't opine the referee, INEC to derail on the regulations guiding it, thereby declaring Akpabio winner. Akpabio never made an attempt nor scored a goal, how would he have been declared winner?

Akpabio, a sitting Senator to have contested an election against Ukarakpa, someone whom his supporters termed " a retiree", denotes a home game in a home soil. Akpabio was home and it's pathetic to note that amidst his anticipated fans, acquaintance with the pitch and excess resources to pioneer his home game, Akpabio was flogged mercilessly by the visiting but inexperienced team, Ukarakpa. Oh no, What a flawless victory! What a shaming defeat!

Everyone would want to ascertain the possible reason why Akpabio upon his woeful lost in the first leg ( National Assembly elections) cannot withdraw himself from the game. Truth is, FIFA does not permits the pulling-out of any team from a competition not until it has completed all its matches. With this, you would concur to Akpabio's decision of challenging Ukarakpa's victory at the Election petition as the only available option to survive. If he had failed in challenging his opponent's victory at the Tribunal, the FIFA I know would have summoned him, probably banned him from future games: APC would have ordered for his immediate apprehension by the EFCC and I would have said "consummatum est".


Akpabio appearing before the National Assembly Election Tribunal is one thing he never dreamt and from different sources, Akpabio was forced against his will to file a case against Ukarakpa: Forcing him to play the next leg of the game is the reason why he's underperforming. Maybe he would have been allowed to decline the game and get banned.

Akpabio in his second leg game has seen more setback and hard luck than in the first leg. During the first game, he was trashed five goals to nill but in just five minutes to the start of the second leg, Akpabio is conceding three goals in addition to the first five he conceded in the first leg. Akpabio if at all he want to emerge victorious is expected to score 15goals. This number of goals required to pronounce Akpabio as the winner of the match is tantamount to him naming Akwa Ibom State as the capital of India so that more demons or wizards could be brought in. To complement this act, everyone in Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District would have to be killed. This is a mission impossible.

Akpabio has successfully presented 12 witnesses to the Court, how the twelve fumbled before everyone in court is something that calls for utmost concern. Maybe Akpabio didn't rehearse the lies with them properly before sending them out for the mission. This is what happens when a man feels he could get everything done with money.

Also, Akpabio to strengthen his team went and hired a police officer with much millions to join his click of testifiers in Court, but that plea was later turned down by the court and yours truly, Akpabio's millions disappeared. This is to conclude that Akpabio in his second leg game has encounter more setbacks than in the first leg. In the first leg, he was trashed five goals to nill but in just five minutes to the start of the second leg, Akpabio is conceding three goals in addition to the five he conceded in the first leg. It can be deduced from here that Akpabio before 90mins of the second leg would concede more than 10goals.

Akpabio if at all he'll win is expected to score 15goals. One would be forced to ask, "Akpabio was unable to win when he was playing home ( sitting Senator), how would he win now Ukarakpa is playing home ( sitting Senator)?

With the outcome of the Akpabio vs Ukarakpa in court, Akpabio is embarking on a mission impossible. He'll still be flogged mercilessly by his opponent, and there's nothing that could avert this great impending loss.
