Mr Udom Ekpoudom, chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Akwa Ibom State is a retired Deputy Inspector General of Police and former
senatorial aspirant for Ikot Ekpene senatorial district in the 2023 elections. He gives insight on his relationship with Senate President, Godswill Akpabio. He opens up on why he later supported Akpabio after his failed bid to go to the Senate. Excerpts!
See, I wouldn’t have contested any election against Godswill Akpabio in the first instance; you know he was contesting for president and later came back to contest for senate. I didn’t just come out, my people approached me to go and they truly supported me. I’m still glad that APC still won the senate.
Now that Akpabio has become the senate president, what are the expectations of the people of Niger Delta? This country is blessed as I said earlier, it’s blessed with a president that is patriotic, he likes this country, he seems prepared before coming into office, he has his plans, restructuring is long overdue. The country today is running a unitary government, everything is in Abuja.
