Government of Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria

Press Release

Re: Shocker: Udom Set to Join APC



Our attention has been drawn to a banner headline with the above caption in the Midweek edition of the Global Concord newspaper, a local tabloid published here, in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.

We would, as we always do, have ignored the story as yet another cocktail of lies the publication usually serves its readers, but for the malicious intent of the sponsors of the article.

We wish to state categorically that His Excellency, Governor Udom Emmanuel has never entertained for a nanosecond the thoughts of joining the APC. He will NEVER join the APC. He is a committed, nationally celebrated and recognized member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He has contributed in no small measures to the resurgence of the PDP, which has seen the party record a gale of defections across the country to the eternal grief of the APC.

Governor Udom Emmanuel has stated at different platforms that he is, body, spirit and soul PDP and that passion and commitment has translated into the overwhelming support the political establishment and the good people of this this State have shown him, since certain individuals decided to pursue their political interest elsewhere.

We call on the good people of Akwa Ibom State and Nigerians in general to dismiss the story for what it is: an evil and vile propaganda.

Governor Udom Emmanuel will win convincingly at next year’s gubernatorial election to continue his superlative performance and the party that will guarantee him the victory, as it was in 2015, shall remain the PDP. Akwa Ibom State is PDP and Governor Udom Emmanuel remains PDP for life.

Hahahaa wetin happen na

BMCs are coming
A little recharge and they're ready to do the needful

Just rebutting the rumour ni jor!

Time will tell.

only a self centered monster like akpabio will decamp to apc ...like an igbo man who becomes Islam cuz of material tyns

The last time I checked, defection was not a crime but it must be done within the purview of ideologies but in this clime no political party has a clear-cut ideologies which make it easy for any politician to cross-carpet any time at will. The defection of giants foem an evil party to a lesser evil party means well for the nation. I pray Udom will leave that dreaded party for a better APC but stop the corruption cos we won't protect you here.


Welcome in advance His Excellency!

IF you ask me, na who I go ask

Here in Akwa Ibom nobody can win Udom

Selfish politicians.

Don't be naive. Politicians are the most insincere and dishonest human beings you can think. It's all about interest.


There is no smoke without fire. Akpabio's men must have wooed the governor to follow suit. 2019 will be intriguing.

Akpabio's move was hearsay until it became factual.

if he likes he should join jamb office, that's not my business

How can he defect to APC when his biggest political rival left PDP though out of selfish political ambition.

APC get A1 for lie. When Lai Mohammed is your mentor why wont u lie.

We know better!
