An analyst, Mr. Haruna Salami, has said it will take the grace of God for immediate past Minister of Niger Delta Affair, Senator Godswill Akpabio to win is senatorial election come Febrary 25, 2023.

Mr. Salami stated this while commenting of a statement credited to Akpabio wherein he is accusing some leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) of working for the the presidential candidate of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.

According to Salami, ‘For Akpabio to win his senatorial seat in APC, it will take the grace of God. Even his candidate is something of judicial process until now he is a full candidate. He knows he is treading in PDP state. He has never won election to the Senate on APC before.”

He said, it is common knowledge that some states are traditionally lean to some political party. Adding that even if the PDP will lose Akwa Ibom, it won’t be to the APC.

“Everybody knows that some states are for a particular party. Like Akwa Ibom, it is very difficult to kate it from PDP. Even if they will take it from PDP, I don’t think it is APC that will take it.”

Senator Godswill Akpabio, has accused some APC leaders in the state of secretly working for the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar. He said, “I am very much aware of a particular person in our party, who has publicly endorsed the governorship candidate of the PDP and its senatorial candidate, but would rush down to Uyo to say I am the chairman of the rally for Tinubu.”
