2023: Council boss, Akpabio trade words over Senator's chances at poll

government area of Akwa Ibom state, Mr Anthony Luke has noted that Akpabio would not win even in Essien Udim, his local government area.

Luke said: “What yardstick will they use in supporting him , when we have Ukana clinic in Ukana, when we have Mopol base, Federal Polytechnic, and Police Secondary School all in Ukana, what will my people show for it? What of Odoro Ikot? What do we have in Afaha Ikot Ebak? What do we have to show in Ukana West 1? What do we have to show in Ikpe? What do we have to show in Adiasim? What do we have to show in Ekpeyong 1&2? Ukana where he comes from may support him but surely, I am telling you...

According to him “You and I know that Akwa Ibom State is predominantly a PDP state, I have been grateful to the leadership of the PDP, it is the PDP that gave an Essien Udim son ticket to be the governor of Akwa Ibom state, PDP gave Akpabio Minority leader position even when he was a first timer, so we don’t have to be ungrateful to such a party and you expect an Essien Udim son to leave the party? Is that how it works? An Essien Udim man is a truthful man; he has integrity, we don’t do that...

“As an elder statesman, we expect him to rest and send his boys whom he has trained very well to go and represent him, when he left for APC he did not inform anybody”
