He told the meeting that he did everything to please Akpabio but that he couldn\u2019t be satisfied.<\/p>\n<p>He opened up to the meeting that he had to resort to legal tactics to stop the EFCC from probing how the former governor spent State funds when he was in power but yet he couldn\u2019t be satisfied.<\/p>\n<p>The Governor said his estranged godfather is too proud, egoistic and arrogant and that it took him a lot to condone him.<\/p>\n<p>But some of the stakeholders who spoke at the meeting lamented that the party could be in big trouble in the State as so many people may follow Akpabio to APC.<\/p>\n<p>A lawmaker hinted that some members of the House of Assembly are on their way out of the party. The meeting agreed that some chieftains of the party be watch-listed as they may be moles for Akpabio who is all out to dislodge Udom from power come next election.<\/p>\n<p>On the 2019 election, the Governor told the meeting to brace up for tough and rough times as there are plans by the APC to rig him out of power using federal might and INEC.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Akwa Ibom State Governor Udom Emmanuel has dismissed his estranged godfather and senate minority leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio, as a greedy, insatiable man who wanted him to be his puppet.&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":44485,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-63357","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
