Betrayal: Aniekan Udosen dumps Udom for APC

In what many has described as greed and  the fear of the unknown, A to Z TV programme Producer, Aniekan Udosen has resigned from Udom Emmanuel Governorship Campaign Council where he was a member of the publicity sub-committee and has now joined the All Progressive Congress (APC).

Mr. Aniekan Udosen said he was leaving Udom Campaign Council to “join the new PDP in APC in the interest of Akwa Ibom people”.

“I cannot afford to go contrary to the directive and advice of experienced leaders like Attah, Etiebet, Umana etc,” Udosen said in his letter of resignation from the campaign council, addressed to Mr. Aniekan Umana who is the state Commissioner for Information as well as the head of publicity sub-committee of Udom Emmanuel Campaign Council. The letter is dated April, 2, 2015.

Mr. Udosen said in the letter which has gone viral on the Internet, “Even our out-going governor advises us not to play opposition and now PDP is opposition, so I cannot play opposition.”

Most other members of the publicity committee, Udosen stated in the letter, have quietly left the committee and withdrew their support for Udom Emmanuel, but were not courageous enough to tell the commissioner for information.

 Udosen alleged that ‘the way and manner’ Aniekan Umanah led the publicity committee was one of the reasons people were leaving, and added that members who left did not received any money for their services to the campaign. He claimed that his company, A to Z Galaxies was being owed money since 2013, apparently by the state government, and that he wouldn’t mind forgoing it as a price he has to pay for being on the side of the people.
