2023 Presidency: Akpabio still in the race – Aide

... As he resigns his position in FEC

Reports that Minister of Niger Delta, Sen. Godswill Akpabio has thrown in the towel in his quest to lead the country in 2023 is nothing but sheer false, says his Jackson Udom, Chief Press Secretary to the minister.

This is as it has emerged that the minister has already turned in his resignation letter as directed by President Muhammadu Buhari, on Wednesday.

In a statement he issued, on Wednesday, Udom said, “Our attention has been drawn to mischievously written news stories making the rounds by paid agents of some politicians, that the leading presidential aspirant, Sen. Godswill Akpabio, has purportedly withdrawn from the presidential race. This is a joke carried too far.

“This is certainly the handiwork of those who are scared of contesting against Senator Godswill Akpabio.

“Senator Akpabio has resigned his appointment as Minister, Niger Delta Affairs Ministry and will soon submit his nomination form at the International Conference Centre, Abuja, in line with his party’s guidelines.

“For those behind this lies and falsehood, we advise that they should learn to live with the reality, that Senator  Akpabio is fully in the race, not only for the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket, but to emerge the next democratically elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
