“It is a huge error and a disservice to this country to turn around and make someone like Akpabio a Senate president in the APC government. That is why this government can never get it right.
The state APC chieftain maintained,” The APC as a party has been hijacked by those that Nigerians were fed up with and decided to embrace”Change” in 2015. They have been eating and they want to continue eating like Akpabio made Nigerians believe”.
“I said it before and I will repeat it that it is sad that we are giving red carpet reception to those we initially accused of looting this country with reckless abandon, so how can we get it right?
