2023: Some People Working For APC In The Day And PDP At Night – Akpabio
Former Minister of Niger Delta, Godswill Akpabio has accused some stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom of working for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
According to Akpabio, such persons are rushing to claim the success of the ruling party in Abuja, whereas they are not truly working for its success.
Akpabio said the leaders shout Tinubu in the day and Atiku in the night.
The former governor said he knows one of them who has publicly endorsed the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and a PDP senatorial candidate but would rush to Uyo to claim chairman of the party.
He further that someone in APC has taken steps to destabilize the party for the benefit of the PDP.
Akpabio said the person has instituted seven cases in court against his party’s governorship candidate, Akanimo Udofia.
He revealed this in a statement released through his Chief Press Secretary, Jackson Udom.
The statement reads, “I have heard of several other groups being set up within the party by other party leaders. I am not against it, so long as they are being set up in support of the party and our Presidential candidate. I will personally support and attend their meetings anytime I am around in the State.
“I will not support a situation where some leaders of the party in the State would be shouting Asiwaju in the day and PDP (Atiku) in the night.
“I am very much aware of a particular person in our party, who has publicly endorsed the governorship candidate of the PDP and its Senatorial candidate but would rush down to Uyo to say I am the chairman of the rally for Tinubu. Which Tinubu are you talking about?”
