Former Akwa-Ibom State governor, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has alleged an unnamed All Progressives Congress, APC chieftain, of not in support of the party’s Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
A counterpart of the allegation Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike recently made against some APC chiefs, Akpabio leveled his own at Ikot Ekpene Local Government Area of the state, when receiving the leadership of 250 support groups for Tinubu.
The ex-governor and Minister paid compliments to the group’s members for their political pursuits, as per his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Jackson Udom in a statement where he relayed what transpired at the event.
Udom said his principal, the National Vice Chairman of APC Presidential Campaign Council, went on to allege a chieftain who he did not name to be anti-Tinubu in the closet.
Akpabio’s word, “I am highly elated with these groups. I am even more elated that you have all resolved to work for the success of our presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and all other candidates of the party from your different polling units and wards.
“These groups, to me, are the real deal. I see you people as those who are real and committed. You didn’t force me to be here. I only came to see. I have seen and I am satisfied.
“I have heard of several other groups being set up within the party by other party leaders. I am not against it, so long as they are being set up in support of the party and our presidential candidate. I will personally support and attend their meetings anytime I am around in the state.
“What I will not support is a situation where some leaders of the party in the state would be shouting Asiwaju in the day and PDP in the night. I am very much aware of a particular person in our party, who has publicly endorsed the governorship candidate of the PDP and its senatorial candidate, but would rush down to Uyo to say I am the chairman of the rally for Tinubu. Which Tinubu are you talking about?”
