The leadership of the Akwa Ibom State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) may have finally laid to rest, the needless controversies surrounding the leadership of the party in the state, as it recently declared that “Akpabio as a leader is never in doubt.”
The party’s position was contained in a press statement issued by the Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr Nkereuwem Enyongekere, on behalf of the Acting Chairman of the party, Dr Ita Udosen.
The press statement titled, Re 2023: What does Akwa Ibom APC want?, was in apparent reaction to an article published by Mr Franklyn Isong, on the needless struggle for the leadership of the party in state.
According to the APC statement, the Minister, Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio’s “role as a leader is never in doubt, after serving the state meritoriously as governor for two terms. He is a patriarch of Akwa Ibom people, and we cannot belittle him to a party leader.”
The party therefore warned that,” no one should use the leadership issue to smuggle trouble into the APC. He is a man of all, irrespective of political inclination. We love him, more than your imagination and sentiment.”
