The Senior Special Assistant to
the President on National Assembly Matters, Senator Ita Enang, has spoken on
the alleged condition(s) attached to the defection of former Governor of Akwa
Ibom State, Senator Godswill Akpabio.
Enang said that the reports
making the rounds that the lawmaker will be excused of his alleged corruption
cases when he finally joins the fold of the ruling party was not true.
The presidential aide told The
Nation that, “No condition is attached to Akpabio’s defection from PDP to APC.”
He added that the ruling party,
“assured him[the former governor] of a level playing field and a sense of
belonging.”
He added, “The APC leadership is
in the picture and all our leaders, including Asiwaju Tinubu, are fully in
support of Sen. Akpabio’s move to our great party
“We will accord him all the
privileges attached to a former governor. Everything is set to receive him on
Wednesday.”
Akpabio’s imminent movement has
thrown the PDP into a state of shock.
We had earlier this
morning reported that Senator Akpabio has resigned as the Senate Minority
Leader.
Enang added, “The APC has
harvested more people from the PDP and other political parties.
“The head of the PDP in the
Senate is formally joining the APC family in a big ceremony on Wednesday the
8th if August in Akwa Ibom State”.
“So, the head of the PDP who
holds all the documents of the PDP, His Excellency, Distinguished Senator
Godswill Obot Akpabio (CON) is coming over with a great team and other
minorities will join the APC family and we are good and strong.”
