Some Peoples Democratic Party governorship aspirants in Akwa Ibom State have threatened to defect to the All Progressives Congress.
The aspirants from Oron federal constituency and Uyo senatorial district, including parts of Ikot Ekpene senatorial district, particularly Abak Federal Constituency, said they will declare in a few days’ time.
A source, who did not want to be named, told our correspondent that the aspirants had concluded plans to defect to the APC before the PDP South-South screening exercise for governorship aspirants in Port Harcourt, on Saturday.
He said, “Before the end of this month, we shall stage a rally for the APC in the state that will welcome some of our governorship aspirants and others into the APC.
“We cannot sit down and allow somebody to hijack our destiny. Akwa Ibom belongs to everyone of us and, not for a particular person. The state is too big for an individual to pocket.
“The most annoying aspect of this scenario was the attitude of a governorship aspirant, who arrived at the screening centre later than other aspirants, but was given preferential treatment as he walked inside around 11am and left around 12pm.”
