I’m now a pastor, says renowned Akwa Ibom opposition politician

Nigeria Headlines News

Nigeria Latest News, Nigeria Headlines

Those were the words of John Udoedehe, a well-known opposition politician in Akwa Ibom State, who announced on Facebook, April 29, that he was now a pastor.

Mr Udoedehe is one of the leaders of the All Progressives Congress in Akwa Ibom. He has contested for the APC governorship ticket in the state, at least twice. Mr Akpabio won re-election, but Mr Udoedehe almost lost his life when he and his campaign team were violently attacked in Ikot Ekpene, March 2011, by thugs suspected to have been hired by the PDP.Mr Udoedehe, ironically, was subsequently arrested, detained, and charged to court for murder and arson by the Akwa Ibom State Government, but was later discharged and acquitted.

Both politicians reconciled last year as they prepared their party, the APC, for the 2019 general elections. But the APC lost the governorship and all the elections in the state, including Mr Akpabio’s re-election bid. The remark, which elicited disapproval from some of his supporters, came after Mr Udoedehe was appointed a board member for the Nigeria Information Technology Development Agency.“It will be disrespectful to the president for me to reject the offer, I am a loyal party member.
