The Akwa Ibom State governorship candidate of Accord Party (AP) in the 2015 election, Bishop Sam Akpan; Dr Edet Ati; and Dr Bassey Antai, have all dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

According to a statement signed by Borono Bassey, the PDP Publicity Secretary in Akwa Ibom State, and made available to POLITICS NIGERIA, the APC defectors at a meeting to formally declare their return to the PDP stated that with their exit, the ship of the APC has sunk forever in the state.

Speaking on behalf of other defectors, Bishop Akpan said their decision to return to the PDP was informed by the need to belong to a party that remains the number one choice of Akwa Ibom people since the return to Democracy in 1999.

The top politicians moved to the PDP with thousands of their supporters.

Some people are saying these defections won't affect the APC, because thousands of people aren't gathered.

But they believe that if only Wike decamps to APC that's equivalent to 1 million votes for the APC.

What do we call that

By 2023 Sunday igboho will start his wailing again. Oduduwa Republic agitations will start once more.

Keep fingers crossed. They will be shamed.

When it’s in your favor no problem but if it’s opposition favor it’s either fake news , rented crowd , hired crowd or whatever means Either you like it or not everyone knows his /her candidate come 2023 . Shun politics of hatred, envy, jealous and bitterness am talking to all internet bandits and terrorist who want to kill their selves because they don’t want to see opposition, what then is the beauty of democracy? . Better face your life and engage in meaningful and fruitful things , if you have a preferred candidate campaign and canvass vote for your candidate
