Former Governor of Akwa Ibom state and the Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has told his Annang cabal that the greatest mistake he has made in his life was to have made Udom Emmanuel his successor in 2015 against all odds and warnings by some well meaning people within and outside the state.

Akpabio made this known in a meeting held on Monday to review the ongoing onslaught against him by his Successor. “I regretted that I am being mocked by those I bulldozed in the build up to the 2015 polls to make Udom Emmanuel my Successor”.

He vowed to take Udom pound of flesh at the 2019 polls. He told the meeting attended by his Annang brothers that, “sacking Sir Etekamba Umoren as the SSG, Governor Udom has crossed the red line and has dared me”.

Attendees of the meeting blamed the former Governor for not hearkening to the voice of reason in the choice of his successor and regretted that the government has been hijacked by those who never contributed anything to its emergence while those that staked so much to ensure the success of 2015 agenda were pushed out of the government simply because they are identified as Akpabio boys.

The meeting expressed shock that the governor could sponsor, direct and encourage people to launch media attacks on his person.

Those who attended the meeting were carefully selected and they reaffirmed their support for their leader and resolved to follow him wherever he would lead them in 2019. [Calabar Reporters]

Akpabio got played.

It is only in Nigeria that when a leader hands over, he still will want to be in charge of the Government,by being the puppeteer controlling the puppet.

Things do not work that way Akpabio.

I believe somebody in the person of Obong Victor Attah handed over to you,and then left you alone to lead as you deem fit.

Let this Governor be.

It has always been the case. Let just say that no man is god enough to be a godfather.

Akpabio relegated Victor Attah to the background and Udom is doing the same thing to him. Suck it up and stop crying Akpabio, what goes around comes around. It is all politics and nothing personal.

Tell him oooooo

But, will he ever read this?

Akpabio you cannot control a sitting Governor. Respect yourself and let the man run his term, you had 8 long years during which you taught your predecessor Obong Attah the same lesson you are about to learn afresh. The man you call your godson is now bigger than you by virtue of the position he occupies, you represent one out of three constituencies, he governs all three. Respect yourself or you may get burnt.

WHAT GOES AROUND MUST SURELY COME AROUND!
