A former governor of Akwa ibom state and the immediate past Minister of Niger Delta Affairs Chief Godswill Akpabio has denied any form of pact or agreement with Senator Bassey Albert popularly called OBA to have him succeed Governor Udom Emmanuel as Governor in 2023.



Akpabio who abdicated the position of Senate Minority leader and defected to All Progressives congress in August 6TH 2018 on personal grounds said there was no such agreement anywhere and urges anybody who claims to have one, to make it public.



Akpabio’s whose remarks came on the heels of the recent media interview on Planet FM Uyo where Senator Bassey Albert claimed there was a pact endorsed with the former governor and former senate president David Mark as co-signatories where he was to become the beneficiary of the Governorship seat after Udom Emmanuel in 2023 also wondered why a non-indigene of the state will be part of those to determine the destiny of the state by 2023 if at all there is such pact.



Speaking through one of his close Aide, Akpabio who said he left Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for good wondered why he should be dragged into the internal wrangling of the party when he is already pursuing his political dreams in another platform.



According to the Aide, “Chief Godswill Akpabio has distanced himself from the so-called pact or agreement which OBA is verbally brandishing in the media without any verifiable evidence. He is of the opinion that OBA should pursue his governorship ambition in a more honorable way than talking of nonexistence issues to garner undue and undeserved political advantage. I thought he is already in court, it will be better to continue that way and leave Akpabio completely out of their politics' '.



He highlighted that among the shocker from OBA was the issue of having former Senate President from Benue state Mr David Mark involved in the internal politics of Akwa ibom state to the point of determining the next governor for Akwa ibom in 2023 in the alleged and nonexistence pact.



“ To even mention that David Mark is involved in the so called Agreement to choose a governor in 2023 for our people is already causing angst among reasonable Akwa ibom public, do Akwa ibom elites also intervene in the Benue state politics to the point of choosing leaders for them” he asked rhetorically.
