In efforts to consolidate his rumoured defection to the All
Progressives Congress (APC) the else while Senate Minority, Senator Godswill
Akpabio, Monday, paid a courtesy visit to APC national leader, Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu, reports ITRealms.
Akpabio, who was the former Akwa-Ibom State governor, until 2015
had been a known Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for over 18 years.
Although the agenda of the courtesy visit with Tinubu was not
made open, Akpabio at the weekend visited President Mohammadu Buhari in London.
Political watchers have been of the opinion that for Senator
Akpabio to thought of defection, he definitely should have a very juicy offer
from the APC, which may include option of replacing Senate President, Bukola Saraki,
and or his Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu.
Saraki was accused of leading some 15 Senators and over 30
members of the House of Representatives in the past one week.
At the time of filing this report, PDP had alleged that APC
and presidency are jointly plotting impeachment of Senate President, Saraki and
his deputy, with offer of some $1m to each collaborating Senators to support
the scheme.
