A former Special Assistant to the Governor of Akwa Ibom State on Electoral Matters, Barrister Mfon Udeme has been shot.

Barrister Udeme who is a  staunch supporter of Senator Godswill Akpabio resigned his appointment last month and defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC)  was shot in the early hours of Thursday.

The attack may not be unconnected with the recent revelations by the former aide published in major national newspapers that over 200 aides of Governor Emmanuel were set to desert him in the build up to the governorship election in 2019.

He was also quoted as saying that as a former Special Assistant to the Governor on Electoral Matters he had known that Governor Udom Emmanuel had no electoral value.

Barrister Udeme, who resigned last month as the Governor's Special Assistant on Electoral Matters, dropped the hint in a press conference  on Wednesday in Uyo and was shot on Thursday.

Udeme, during the chat, said: "within the next few months, Udom's Government House would be a sort of ghost town as over 80% of his aides have all perfected plans to abandon Udom's administration."

Udeme, a former Chairman of Ibiono Ibom Local Government Area blamed the mass exit on "the Governor's maltreatment of the aides and blatant show of unserious attitude towards matters of genuine development of the people of the state."

He said most of the remaining aides have decided to go after suffering in silence for more than three years.

He said having done a thorough assessment of the political situation in the state as the Governor's Special Assistant on Electoral Matters, he has found out that Governor Emmanuel lacked the electoral value needed to win a second term.

Udeme advised Governor Emmanuel to concentrate on finishing his term and forget about wasting time on campaign for second term to avoid a disgraceful defeat at the polls by the All Progressives Congress (APC), which has overwhelmed the PDP in the state.

Thank God he is alive.

But this is a very biased reporting.

We should be objective and factual the way we report news,and not make everything appear as if it has political undertones.

The writer made it sound as if the PDP targeted him because he changed his allegiance to the APC. There are thousands who have jumped ship from one party to another in this season of ship jumping,and they are still alive.

Now, the key parts missing in the reports here are

A- how exactly and where did this incidence happen?no mention was made of that, but they spent a long time insinuating it was the PDP.

B- How can the writer be authoritatively pointing an accusing finger without any concrete evidence to buttress his/her accusations?

C- Where is the Police official statement on this?

Who remembers that Pastor in Anambra that claimed he was attacked by hired assassins and the bullet could not penetrate his body?

My man,next time stay away from APC
NA-NO-GO AREA

Nigeria - the land where blood is never valued

And he didn't die....


Did anyone force him to join the APC...
APc will still get him sha
I wonder when assassins starts shooting legs

Assassins?

Shot him in the leg?




Tell Mr assistant to go settle boys and leave assassins alone.

That looks like a makeup to me. Apc trying everything possible to tarnish the image of PDP in SS. Be rest assured , you will be heavily resisted .

Oh Lord, why... what I do...?

Our peaceful Akwa Ibom State has suddenly become a war zone.

He probably shot himself for the media attention

2019 - Interesting times

Hmm

CityNGR:
He probably shot himself for the media attention

can u imagine?
you are seriously sick

K

Like he became a traitor to the government. It looks like a warning shot because if they wanted him dead, they'd have aimed at the head. That's if he didn't shoot himself to gain public sympathy or perhaps Buhari's attention.

Naija politics

If he didn't die than it's propaganda despite the bullet in the leg o. Apc can do anything to sell its propaganda

that's the price you pay for eating your cake and want to have it


politics is dirty
there's no pastor deacon evangelist etc in politics

kiss the truth

The pseudo militants that were on parade last week brandishing their AK 47s have started working so fast.

APC AGAIN?

The handwork of PDP as always. Bloody desperate party. Power at the center is all they crave and do not care how they get it.

Same way they wanted to use Boko haram to score political points while masses were dying and being killed even to the extent of the same boko haram making inroads all the way to Abuja our nations capital.

PDP NEVER AGAIN!

I thought they said Udom is a deacon. So a deacon can now hire assassins to silence his opponents?

I am not surprised sha. Afterall if Oyedepo can stand with an internationally known thief and fraudsters and money launderer then a deacon can do worse

CityNGR:
He probably shot himself for the media attention

can u shoot urself 4d same reason?

He is not the forest who left pdp for apc and an attempt to take his life been made

PDP at work

They have started

Naija assassins i guess!
which assassin can shot on the leg??
And the whole write-up is indicating that PDP is responsible to deceive the guilables.

I smh for the op and the type of journalism we have in this country.





















Next pls

Good riddance to bad elements..

I must remain unquoted.

Akpabio is capable of doing this for cheap political points
