National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, has described the defection of former Senate Minority Leader, Godswill Akpabio to the All Progressives Congress (APC) as unfortunate.
A statement from Mr Secondus’ office, which was signed by his media adviser, Ike Abonyi, said, “I cannot fathom any reason why on earth, Senator Akpabio should work against the tide, moving at the opposite direction to a place every reasonable person is escaping from.
“He deserves our pity because whatever would make somebody to choose bad for good is clearly one that he should be prayed for, for salvation especially given the fact that wolves are waiting for his arrival to devour him.
“How on earth can anybody who has his eyes wide open be seen walking into danger knowingly?”
Secondus lashed out at the APC, for allegedly intimidating people into their alleged drowning boat ostensibly to ruin and disintegrate the person involved.
He called on the people of Akwa Ibom to be wise and know when to turn their back from a leader directing them to danger.
“I urge you (people of Akwa Ibom) to remain focused and continue to give support to your hard-working governor, Emmanuel Udom, as he remains unrelenting in the delivering of democracy dividends to the people,” he added.
Akpabio was elected to represent Akwa Ibom North-West in the National Assembly on the PDP platform in 2015.
Before then, he was governor of Akwa Ibom State from 2007 to 2015
