Akpabio
Ex-governor of Akwa Ibom state, Senator Godswill Akpabio, said he will support “any move for the downward review of allowances or cost of governance in the country” if it helps to ensure development in the current “bad economy” situation. 


Briefing the journalists after the closed-door meeting with former President Olusegun Obasanjo at Obasanjo’s Abeokuta home on Presidential Hilltop Estate, Senator Akpabio said: “I will support any move for the downward review of allowances or cost of governance in the country. The economy is bad now. I will support it if that will save money and put more funds in the hand of the President to carry out developmental projects since the economy is bad.”

The PDP’s Senator Akpabio also commented on the general elections conducted in Akwa Ibom, addressing the appeal to the Election Petition Tribunal that sought to upturn the outcome of the polls.

“Akwa Ibom is the second largest petition writers in Nigeria after Ekiti state. It dates back to when we were in the former old Cross Rivers state. But it is normal, since after election we are going to have winners and losers. The judiciary is very much alive to its responsibility and is still the hope of the common man.

“Peoples Democratic Party is a major factor in the state politics, boasting that, if election is conducted five times in Akwa Ibom today, the PDP will still win. The party is like a religion in the state and nobody can take this away from us,” he said.

Senator Akpabio noted he was glad to see the ex-president “in good health”. Also in attendance were the current Akwa Ibom state Governor Emmanuel Udom, and past prelate of the Methodist Church Nigeria, CAN ex-president, Sunday Mbang.
