Just In : PDP Governor, two Senators set to join APC
President Godswill Akpabio has disclosed that the governor of Akwa Ibom state, Umo Eno, may be joining the APC soon.
Akpabio disclosed this at a colloquium for his birthday on Friday, adding that Senators Aminu Tambuwal and Natacha Akpoti Uduaghan may also join the ruling party.
Akpabio’s comment followed the allegation from Atiku Abubakar that the APC and President Bola Tinubu were working to turn Nigerian to one-party state Akpabio hints at APC becoming the only party in Nigeria;
“I ENVISION A GREATER NIGERIA UNDER BOLA AHMED TINUBU, GCFR, PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE ARMED FORCES. AND I WANT TO THANK ALL THE POLITICAL PARTIES THAT ARE HERE FOR VOTING FOR OUR PRESIDENT ACROSS PARTY LINES. IT IS THE SAME WAY WE ARE RUNNING THE SENATE. THE SENATE IS ACROSS PARTY LINES. “EVEN THE GOVERNOR OF THIS STATE (ENO OF AKWA IBOM) HAS YET TO JOIN THE APC; CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT? I AM JUST TELLING YOU SOMETHING, BUT HE IS ALREADY SEATED VERY CLOSE TO THE WIFE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA AND IS SEATED VERY CLOSE TO THE WIFE OF THE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA AND STILL STAYS CLOSE TO THE GOVERNOR OF CROSS RIVERS STATE, WHO IS APC. “AND GOVERNOR TAMBUWAL, NOW SENATOR TAMBUWAL, IS STANDING VERY CLOSE TO ME. WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT VERY SOON, WE WILL ALL BECOME ONE FAMILY.”
