Former APC bigwig commends Akwa Ibom PDP for victorious outing during elections

BY ASSAM ABIA

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has been adjudged as the most organized, purposeful and ideologically focused political party in Nigeria, bearing in mind its victorious outing in the just concluded Presidential and national assembly elections. 

Chief Samingo Etukakpan a former chieftain of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Akwa Ibom State, who defected from the party few days to Saturday’s Presidential and national assembly elections, gave the verdict in Eket on Sunday while analysing the result so far gathered from units in the State. 

He congratulated the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Akwa Ibom State for its performance and peaceful conduct during the elections, even when faced with provocative and intimidating actions from the APC. 

Chief Etukapan who delivered his unit in Ward 4 Urban Eket with overwhelming votes for the PDP said he was optimistic that with the result so far gathered, the PDP will be victorious in all the elections in the State. 

Etukakpan, popularly known as “the people’s General of Eket politics” said further that the All Progressive Congress, APC, Akwa Ibom State, was an emergency conglomeration of desperate politicians who are out for their selfish interest, without having any thinking for the generality of the masses.

“I found out that the APC in Akwa Ibom State is populated and controlled by selfish and dubious politicians who want power by all means for the satisfaction of their ego alone”,

“I was a founding member of the PDP but I left the party when it was in disarray, thinking that the APC will offer me a better platform to articulate and contribute my quota to the development of the State but unfortunately, APC is a representation of ignobility and backwardness”, Chief Etukakpan said. 

Recalled that Chief Samingo Etukakpan returned to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, with his teaming followers few days to the commencement of the general elections. 

He was received back to the party by the chapter chairman in Eket, Obongiwaad Emman Mbong in company of the executive chairman of the area, Hon Frank Archibong among other party chieftains.
