APC Sacks Godswill Akpabio As Party Leader, Gives Reason For Decision

Godswill Akpabio, the minister of Niger Delta Affairs, has been removed as the leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom state.

The All Progressives Congress  in Akwa Ibom state made the announcement at its second stakeholders meeting in Uyo.

The state caretaker committee chairman, Ita Udosen, said the state leadership status conferred on Akpabio by a faction of the All Progressives Congress has been formally nullified.

According to reports , the chapter in a communique explained that going by its constitution, the state chairman is the head of the party caucus in the state.

The All Progressives Congress noted that it is therefore a violation of its constitution for any faction to confer leadership status on Akpabio.

The APC said:

”That the Party hereby reminds every member and the general public that the State Chairman (or Caretaker Chairman as applicable here) is the Chairman of the State Caucus as provided for in Article 12.9 Sub (i) of the partyConstitution (October 2014 As Amended) and remains the PartyLeader in the State until further notice.”

Members of the chapter similarly declared all-party Factional leaderships at different stakeholders’ meetings null and void as a means of bringing peace and sanity to the party ahead of 2023 general elections, EKO HOT BLOG  gathered.
