PDP Claims Akpabio’s Comment Is A Seal That APC Plans To Employ Federal Might To Capture The State

Security agencies have been called on by the Peoples Democratic Party, to summon Godswill Akpabio, former Senate Minority Leader for questioning.

The PDP chapter in Akwa Ibom State noted that Akpabio should be asked to stated the reasons behind his Hitler comment on the 2019 general election.

Ini Emembong, Publicity Secretary of the party, said this in a statement in Uyo on Wednesday.

Naija News had earlier reported that the former governor stated that the All Progressives Congress victory over PDP will be like the invasion of Poland by Adolf Hitler’s Germany.

Emembong, while reacting to the statement, said Akpabio’s threat to take over Akwa Ibom in a war-like manner should not be swept under the carpet.

Security agencies should investigate a statement of such magnitude. They should invite the former governor for questioning and explanation of his comments.

“Also, if the state witnesses any violence between September 2018 and in the months preceding the elections, Akpabio should be held responsible,” he demanded.

“The PDP has ruled the state since 1999 and under Governor Udom Emmanuel, Akwa Ibom does not encourage and will not subscribe to violence under any guise.”

The party lamented that APC has been claiming to use the federal might to capture the state in 2019, and Akpabio’s statement has confirmed it.
