Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Godswill Akpabio has
advised his colleagues especially those in the ruling
Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, to show respect to
President Goodluck Jonathan the same way they did
during the short-lived administration of late President
Umaru Musa Yar’Adua.
At the party’s National Exectuive Committee meeting
held yesterday at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential
Villa, Abuja, Akpabio, who is the Chairman of the PDP
Governors’ Forum, recalled that PDP governors
showed maximum respect to late Yar’adua, therefore,
Jonathan “cannot be different.”
According to him, “We are ready to stand solidly
behind the leader of the PDP in the nation. Mr.
President, we have never failed in supporting any
president in power. We always respect and support
any president in power.
“When our late President Yar’Adua was in power,
there was no single PDP governor that challenged
him, either on the pages of newspaper or at any
meeting. We even went to the extent of organising
prayer for him and we supported all his policies;
yours cannot be different.”
His comments appeared to have been targeted at
governors, who lately have constituted themselves as
stumbling blocks to Jonathan’s 2015 ambition.
Akpabio, who expressed appreciation to the President
for his mid-term report, pledged not only his loyalty,
but that of the entire PDPGF to Jonathan.
“The PDP governors’ forum is therefore a new baby, a
new organ and we are now reporting ourselves to
NEC that we are now born and we are ready to serve.
We have been serving; on behalf of my colleagues I
want to say we have come to NEC not just as
governors individually but we are now coming under
the PDP governors’ forum,” he said.
“Leadership comes from God and He gives it to whom
He pleases. My assurance to you is that the 23 PDP
governors are solidly behind you. We thank you for
your mid-term report. We have keyed into your
transformation agenda and we are saying ‘no
shaking.’”
