Akwa Ibom PDP Writes Bukola Saraki, Demands Akpabio’s Recall by blog4all(m): 10:47am On Aug 20, 2018
The Peoples Democratic Party in Akwa Ibom State has written the Senate demanding the immediate declaration of the seat of a senator representing Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District, Godswill Akpabio, vacant.

Akpabio was, until recently, the Senate minority leader, before he defected to the All Progressives Congress.

The Publicity Secretary of the party in the state, Mr Ini Emembong, said the party took the decision because it was not within its purview to declare the seat of a defecting senator vacant.

Emembong explained that the letter was addressed to the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, because he reserved the power to declare seats of senators vacant, as provided by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

He said, “The declaration will be done on the floor of the Senate. We have made the request through a letter. We would have been taken the matter to court, but the constitution says when such a thing happens, it is the Senate President that will declare a defector’s seat vacant.”


Efforts to speak with Akpabio for his reaction failed as calls to his mobile indicated that it was switched off.

He was also yet to respond to a text message sent to his mobile as of the time of filling this report.

I think I agree with them. There's no division in PDP, his seat should be declared vacant.

It’s sad you’re all about the entertainment. Shame! How’s this even entertaining? Your country is on fire and our future being mortgaged by some greedy few but the only thing interesting you is the ‘entertainment’. Really?

Akpabio has failed already.

Just wait till next year and ensure that he does not make it back to the senate.

Hmmmmm let me keep my fingers crossed.

As it is if this recall is approved, Akpabio will not scale through!

Politicians need to realise that after election, its more of service to Nigeria than party!

I have never seen such a mess in any ARM of government before!

Let national interest be the order of the day!

It's that simple, Akpabio does not have any constitutionally recognized basis for his defection. There was no division in PDP, so, his seat should be declared vacant.

I've been awaiting this move and it's the right step. There's no division in the PDP either at the state or national levels thus akpabio made a wrong move as dictated by our constitution.
