Akpabio To Join APC This Week – Presidency

In what would be a big blow to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, Okoi Obono-Obla, senior special assistant to the president on prosecution, says Senator Godswill Akpabio will join the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the coming days.

In a Facebook post on Saturday, Obono-Obla said the former Akwa Ibom state governor will be received into the APC at a rally in the state slated for Thursday.

The rally is scheduled to take place at Ikot Ekpene Stadium, Akwa Ibom.

The Presidential aide further revealed that Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, and other APC big-wigs in the state will be on ground to welcome the Senate minority leader.

Akpabio, who reportedly met with Osinbajo this week, is said to be in a face-off with successor, governor Udom Emmanuel.

Obono-Obla wrote: “There shall be an APC Rally at Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Abasi Ibom State on Thursday the 9th August 2018 to receive the former indefatigable Governor of the State, His Excellency, Senator Godswill Akpabio to the All Progressives Congress! Acting President Osinbajo accompanied by Senator Ita Enang and leaders of the APC in Akwa Ibom will formally receive Senator Godswill Akpabio into the APC at Ikot Ekpene Stadium on Thursday August 9, 2018.”
