Our leaders, wont cease to amaze us. They want to remain in power and continue to trample on the common man.
Akwa Ibom State Governor, Godswill Akpabio Like his former counterpart Bukola Saraki of Kwara state, today Friday, April 12, 2013, declared his intention to contest for house of Senate immediately he vacates the governorship seat in 2015.
Akpabio made his intention known to the public on a special edition of ‘Sunrise Daily’, a programme by a popular Television programme beamed live from Uyo, the Akwa Ibom capital.
The governor, who is currently enjoying his second tenure said “Initially, I thought of retiring quietly back to my village and from politics completely after my tenure during which I have brought uncommon transformation to Akwa Ibom in the last six years.
“But there have been pressures by my people who are yearning for quality representation based on service. I was compelled to reconsider my decision and yield to the people desire by opting to run for the Senate,” Mr. Akpabio said.
Meanwhile, his intentions for 2015 is becoming a subject of concern to his political rivals who are already eying the same position in 2015. Obviously a battle line has been drawn.
