As the 2019 gubernatorial elections are fast approaching, a socio-political group in Akwa
Ibom; Akwa Ibom Good Governance Initiative, has come out to criticize Senator Godswill
Akpabio for undermining the will of Akwa Ibom people to democratically decide who
becomes governor of the state.

The group in a statement signed by its National Co-ordinator, Victor Aniema said that a
recent statement credited to Akpabio where he allegedly boasted that he single-handedly
made Udom Emmanuel governor of Akwa Ibom is a slap on the face of the people of the
state and it will not be condoned.

He said, “We have been observing the utterance of Senator Godswill Akpabio. Recently he
boasted to the world that he, Akpabio is Akwa Ibom and he alone decides who becomes
governor. He has persistently insisted that he single-handedly brought Udom and made him
governor”

Aniema continued, “From a simple interpretation, what Akpabio is saying is that in 2013
when Akwa Ibom people went to the poll to vote, their choice was inconsequential. We see
this as a direct affront on our people who trooped out in mass to elect Udom as their
governor.”

The 2019 gubernatorial elections are fast approaching and the people of Akwa Ibom have
decided who they are going to vote for. Nigeria operates on democracy and each man has the
right to vote their preferred candidate.

This Akpabio Is A Traitor. . .
Since He Jumped Ship, He's Been Showing His True Colours.
