Akpabio: No, that didnt come from Atiku
1.0 The per-second way newsworthy incidents happen in Nigeria, I am not able to wait until Monday to react in my Sun Column to what former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, is said to have said against the incumbent President of the Senate, Sen. Godswill Akpabio.
2.0 And, I am not going to use my platform -any platform of mine- to repeat whatever he said; thereby indirectly dignifying or spreading the serial presidential attempter’s group agenda against Akwa Ibom and indeed the south south, if not the southern part and the country as a whole.
3.0 But, here’s the thing: what Mr Abubakar said is a lie because unlike himself who has been accused for the records (in a book and in several media footages) by his former boss, ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, not one of the past political bosses of the senate president ever accused him of that.
4.0 Starting with the iconic former governor of Akwa Ibom state, Arc. (Obong) Victor Attah, under whom Barr. Akpabio began his political journey on I think 6th August 2002, first as Honourable Commissioner, Petroleum and Mineral Resources and later, of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs up until the end of the administration on 29th May 2007 when he took over, there’s no record of the former governor ever accusing his former Commissioner of this.
3.0 Ditto the 2015 to 2019 senate president, Dr Bukola Saraki, under whom the current senate boss served as minority leader.
4.0 Even immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari, whom Sen. Akpabio served as Hon. Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, did not ever accuse him nor has he now when dirty north-south politics is forcing big people to play in the sand.
5.0 So, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar should try another trick in their desperation to stop President Bola Tinubu’s second term by leaving Sen. Akpabio.
6.0 By the way, there can be no concluding this sans mentioning the 7-star representation (human capacity building, positioning/empowerment and projects) Senate President Godswill Akpabio has in the last nearly two years offered not just Akwa Ibom northwest, not just Akwa Ibom state, not just the south south, not just southern Nigeria, not the federal republic but also humanity.
7.0 No political allegation whatsoever shall cause any shift whatsoever in the befitting humongous nationwide support Sen. Akpabio enjoys!
