Some Akwa Ibom All Progressives Congress, APC, officials in the State have come under fire from Senator Godswill Akpabio for not genuinely working for the prosperity of their state instead of hastily claiming triumph in Abuja.
A press release containing this was delivered to journalists in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, and was signed by Chief Press Secretary for Akpabio, Mr. Jackson Udom.
During a meeting with the leaders of about 250 Presidential Support Groups, he said that Akpabio made the revelation over the weekend in the State’s Ikot Ekpene Local Government Area.
Part of the statement reads: “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.

“I will not support a situation where some leaders of the party in the State would be shouting Asiwaju in the day and PDP (Atiku) 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?”
The National Vice Chairman of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Akpabio, claimed that the “Abuja politicians” shout Tinubu in the day and Atiku in the night.
He added that he was particularly aware of one of them who would come to Uyo to seek party chairmanship despite publicly endorsing PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar and a PDP senatorial candidate.
