Christopher Ekpenyong, senator representing Akwa Ibom
north-west, has described Godswill Akpabio as “uncommon failure”.
Ekpenyong said this on Thursday in Abuja while speaking with
journalists after he was sworn in as the senator representing the district.
He defeated Akpabio, candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), in the rerun election that was held last Saturday.
The former deputy governor said while Akpabio was governor
of the state he “did nothing”.
“I’m ashamed of him. If he was investing, go to Akwa Ibom;
there is nothing. When you talk of uncommon, what is uncommon or is it because
he is uncommon failure?”
According to him, Akpabio became governor by accident.
“The fact that he became a governor was by accident and that
is because our electoral process is porous. Thank God I have come to meet the
discussion on the electoral act amendment because I am going to contribute,” he
said.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member accused Akpabio of
trying to subvert the rerun poll.
“He felt he could go to the election without resigning, then
he flew a kite that he is not contesting but he failed to know that I am
veteran in this game,” Ekpenyong said.
“We went to the election and I defeated him, I had 19,000 plus
votes and he had 6,000 in his local government.”
