Why Buhari Met Akpabio In London by agwom(m): 5:16am On Aug 06, 2018
President Muhammadu Buhari met with the Senate minority leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio in London ahead of the lawmaker’s defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Presidency sources told Daily Trust yesterday.

The President met with Akpabio, 48 hours after Vice President Yemi Osinbajo met with him at the Presidential Villa. Daily Trust exclusively reported the Thursday’s meeting of the Vice President with Akpabio.

It was gathered that the meeting of the President and Osinbajo with Akpabio were in connection with the defection of the former Akwa Ibom governor to the APC.

Buhari commenced his 10 days vacation in London on Friday. Our correspondent reports that his meeting with Akpabio was his first public engagement since the commencement of his vacation.

Contacted, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly (Senate), Senator Ita Enang confirmed the president’s meeting with Akpabio.

Enang who is also from Akwa Ibom State, said the meeting held yesterday morning in London and was in connection with the former governor’s defection to APC.

“He has finished the London meeting with the President. He is the minority leader and for someone of his status to come over to your party you need to discuss with him at the highest level,” Enang said in a phone interview.

He said the former governor would be received in Akwa Ibom on Wednesday by Osinbajo and other APC stakeholders.

Our correspondent reports that if Akpabio decamps, he would be the second senator from Akwa Ibom to join APC. In January last year, Senator Nelson Effiong (PDP, Akwa-Ibom South) joined the APC.

He may not cos he has really gone far..... My worry is what these people have on him that is making him to defect so much in a hurry and to shut out any form of pleading maybe by people he respects and listens to, he traveled out of the country so as to remain unreachable till the D day.

Last time I check, Kalu is a member of APC and his corruption case is in the Court. Two prominent members of the APC were to the prison for corruption cases hanging on their neck. APC didn't overlook their crime because they were in their camp. So your submission is wrong.

Akpabio will join APC but his crime will not be exonerated. He is an Asset and will be welcomed. You should rather sit up on how to win Akwa Ibom in the next gubernatorial election

Kalu case is in court. You can argue with yourself.

Let me explain the strategy.
Kalus case.. Election is approaching, they bring up the case, he runs to buhari, he tells him to bring some money for elections, he agrees, and the judge forgets the case.

Akpabios case.. Bring some money for APC, magu it's wait. Magu waits. Money is used for election... Akpabio is a saint

Those that abused Saraki for working against Jonathan now love Saraki. Those that abused Akpabio for working against Buhari now love Akpabio. But as a united gang of fools, they retain their common hatred. The same people who think they are ready for power? Foolish peasants!

Nigeria is dead. The first set of persons a defecting Senator should consult is the people( constituency) not Mr President that never voted for you. I personally feel this is disrespectful to the people. #DeathofDemocaracy undecided

A president so comfortable in another man's country, no shame. Tomorrow, you expect them to respect Nigeria and her citizens.
