Senator Godswill Akpabio has eventually broken his silence on the bitter war between him and his political godson and successor, Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State…

“I don’t have any issue with the current Governor of Akwa Ibom State, His Excellency Udom Gabriel Emmanuel. He remains my Governor, and a godfather to my children. I don’t have any issue with him.”

“If there are local issues, these are things we can sit down on the table and resolve. And, for me, I think of the national interest.”

”I believe strongly that with the challenges we’re having now, all hands should be on deck.”
