Former Minority Leader of the Senate and Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, has pulled out of the planned Akwa Ibom North East senatorial re-run election.
In a letter addressed to the national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress , Adams Oshiomhole and dated 2nd of December, 2019, Akpabio said as Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, a huge responsibility had been placed on him. He said he couldn’t abandon a critical assignment placed on him by President Muhammadu Buhari in pursuit of a re-run election.
He urged the party to write the Independent National Electoral Commission , in line with Sections 33 and 35 of the Electoral Act, 2010, and submit a replacement to run in his place.
Smart decision. Anaang people never voted for him. He knows he will still lose the rerun
Orji Uzor Kalu treatment loading! Whatever you do, wherever you go, whoever you try to please, Karma must come. You think that there is more money and power in NDDC than in the Senate. APC tentacles will surely catch up with you anyhow.
Why is he withdrawing from the race when he claim to be god- father of Akwa-Ibom politics. He would hav continue and see d worst humilation of his political life. Anyway he is a smart guy.
Bird in hand..
Wise move.
