Akpabio: "I Regret Imposing Udom Emmanuel On Akwa Ibom As Governor" by Ecstasy154(op): 2:41pm On Aug 20, 2018
Etim Ekpimah, Uyo

Former Senate Minority Leader, Godswill Akpabio, has expressed regrets for what he called “imposing” the Akwa Ibom State governor, Udom Emmanuel, on the people of the state.

Apologising before a crowd at Ikot Ekpene Plaza, Akpabio, who returned from his mother-in-law’s burial at Enugu on Sunday evening, said Emmanuel was the greatest mistake he made in a hurry, and asked to be forgiven.

Akpabio, who represents Akwa Ibom North West in the Senate, noted that Emmanuel “is a mistake that must be corrected in 2019.”

“Udom (Emmanuel) is a mistake that must be corrected in 2019. All hands must be on deck to ensure that the mistake is corrected for a people-oriented leadership under the ruling All Progressives Congress at the centre.”

According to him, “Emmanuel’s administration has failed the people,” forcing him to take decisive actions to correct the anomaly for posterity to be fair on him.

Akpabio spoke of the prevalence of hunger and deprivation in Akwa Ibom State since the Emmanuel administration assumed power, adding that it was time for “holistic action” to liberate the state from the shackles of bad governance.

Akpabio had, in the run up to the 2015 elections, declared Emmanuel, then Secretary to the State Government, next in line to succeed him, even when 26 aspirants jostled for the post.

Akpabio stop all this noise making and focus on your new found love. Why would you force Udom to complete a project you couldn't complete in 8yrs and also pick your wife as the deputy in the forth coming elections?
Is Akwaibom state house a family property?
The way Akwaibom stood against Attah for your sake I am sure they will do the same for Udom come 2019. Pls go and enjoy your new party and fame.

Look at an elderly man in politics talking. You deceived people in PDP and you are deceiving people as we speak in APC. This inordinate idiots don't have the interest and well-being of the masses at heart. Meanwhile i see a repeat of obiano Second term and peter obi chest beat in akwaibom soon.In akwaibom, whoever is incharge of the government, has the final say. Akpabio should continue enjoying his retirement at the Senate. he is dwindling.
