Uncommon confusionist.
It's better for him, he can't afford to take such gamble & at last lose his ministerial post knowing full well that he will lose the rerun woefully . A bird at hand is better than the million in the bush....he's afraid

He got a better deal
To avoid losing on two fronts. We know
The wiseman know that to hold is a share.
The best decision Sen Akpabio has made yet...
