Following conflicting reports and alleged misrepresentations in the media, Senator Godswill Akpabio on Sunday restricted some journalists from accessing his home in Ukana Ikot Ntuen in Essien Udim LGA.

Akpabio was billed to meet with aspirants seeking offices under the All Progressive Congress platform.

About 6 reporters were not allowed entry into the premises as the security men insisted that they were not on the list of those invited.

Before now, reporters had free access into the premises especially after the senator's defection from the PDP to APC.

An inside source disclosed that the former senate minority leader is unhappy about the media reports and the crises it is capable of igniting, thus instructing that journalists be restricted from the compound.

The PUNCH newspaper reported recently that Senator Akpabio "said he regretted imposing Mr Udom Emmanuel as the Akwa Ibom State Governor on the people of the state.

He added that all hands must be on deck for the mistake to be corrected.

'Udom (Emmanuel) is a mistake that must be corrected in 2019. All hands must be on the deck to ensure the mistake is corrected for a people-oriented leadership under the ruling All Progressives Congress at the centre.

'I want to thank you for defying the rain to honour me as your leader and troop out in this multitude even at a very short notice. It goes to show the level of love and confidence you have in me as your leader and I promise to also reward you for your time and energy in this all-important project,' he said."

Senator Akpabio through his media assistant denied making such statements.

"We state categorically that such assertion never came from Senator Akpabio.

Senator Akpabio knows that power comes from God and therefore cannot say it was a mistake for God to make a Governor out of Deacon Udom Emmanuel in 2015". The statement read.

AKPABIO BARS JOURNALISTS, REPORTERS FROM HIS HOME http://akwaibomdaily.com.ng/akpabio-bars-journalists-reporters-from-his-home/

THINGS FALL APART

KARMA IS REAL

nice one

Nonsense

a wounded Lion

He was so loved by his people
Akpabio is a political super star in the SS.
I doubt if any Gov during his time can measure up to him in terms of infrastructure etc.
Yes, some may argue he left a huge debt at the end of his tenure but people can point to where such monies went
and if still in doubt, current research have shown Akwa Ibom have taken the shine off Cross Rivers state in recent times due to such development.
So many states are paying huge debts of the past without any tangible project to show for it.
However, Gov. Udom Emmanuel is doing a great job and I doubt if Akwa Ibomites would want to halt such progress in 2019.
I hope they will find a way around it and place the people of that state first.

I feel there's more to akpabio's defection to APC.

Their tyrannical tendencies is beginning to manifest.

Why allow Buhari APC deceive you the second time?

Oh my state.!
I weep for the useless n stupid youths that will be allowing themselves used to carry guns for those selfish politicians all over the place while their children are in world class universities and NNPC, federal work dey wait them

APC threatened Akpabio wit EFCC into all did mess

oh my former governor who has bewitch you like this. #ntua

Akpabio has carried ants infested wood home.... lizards must follow him

Akpabio tired of singing. At your age and with your knowledge of international politics you do not know that anything to refer to or associate with Hitler is a no-no.
Israel and America have taken cognizance of your Warsaw comments.

Wise anang man man . they are very intelligent but with strong heart don't joke with an anang man Else......

Even APC in the state have bluntly refuse to associate with him wholly. Akpabio is partially dead believe me, 2019 will prove it to everyone.

He is discussing with the GOVERNOR on how to go about the PLANNED massive DECAMPING to APC. He doesn't want journalist to put water for garrison na.

For APC to have the governor and Akpabio is directly proportional to PDP crying EWO.

Afraid of mis-yearning again

very Good.Kip off all pd PIGS far away from ur VIcinity

Yes he made a wrong move to protect what is beyond our eyes
But nobody would want his type of politics dead not even Gov. Emmanuel would wish him that
Akwa Ibom has been a peaceful state when it comes to politics compared to Rivers and other Niger Delta states.
Sen. Akpabio administration was one of the success stories of the region
I doubt if the Sen. Akpabio we know will want to behave like his former counterpart in Rivers state.
Sen. Akpabio cannot destroy what he has built over the years, he's smarter than that

issa political..............say no to Chinese Gucci and sri Lanka Prada, order for quality handmade shoes and sandals 08181663616

Apkabio is beginning to denounce his statements one after the other. I can't wait to see him lose his Senate seat soon
