The brouhaha over the leadership of the APC in Akwa Ibom State is needless and efforts being made by certain chieftains of the party to dispute and undermine the Senator Godswill Akpabio's leadership of the party are not necessary.

Akpabio became the leader of the party by the proclamation of the National leadership of the party at the Ikot Ekpene stadium the day he joined the party.

In his capacity as the leader of the party,on Monday, 17th September 2018, HE. Senator Godswill Akpabio led a delegation of APC statkeholders from Akwa Ibom State to meet with President Buhari at State House Abuja.
Prior to this time, there has been an APC structure so divided that they couldn't move as one until HE. Akpabio took that leadership step

Two years after and in preparation for 2023, the same set that couldn't come together have gathered to say HE. Akpabio can't lead them.

Senator Godswill Akpabio is the most outstanding,the most accomplished,the most decorated,the most graced and capacitated leader in AkwaIbom APC,in particular,and the state,in general.

He is the most loved and celebrated political actor and the main issue in the politics of the state.

As could be seen in the pictures attached to this post,he is the one that introduced them to the President for presidential handshake and they so submitted themselves to his leadership.They all queued behind him.

The picture attached to this post speaks volumes of who the leader of the party was then,not to talk of being a current member of the Federal Executive Council.

Let me conclude by restating the obvious. By the proclamation of the National leadership of the party and by established precedents and convention,Senator Godswill Akpabio,as the highest political office holder in the party,remains the leader of the party in the state.

Hmmm ok
