The All Progressive Congress (APC) has sacked Godswill Akpabio as its party leader in Akwa Ibom State.

This was revealed in an announcement by the party during its second stakeholders meeting in Uyo.

However, the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs is yet to react to the declaration by the Akwa Ibom APC.

Ita Udosen, the state caretaker committee chairman, said the state leadership status conferred on Akpabio by a faction of the party has been formally nullified.

In a communique, the chapter explained that going by its constitution, the state chairman is the head of the party caucus in the state.

The party noted that it is therefore a violation of its constitution for any faction to confer leadership status on Akpabio.

The APC said: “That the Party hereby reminds every member and the general public that the State Chairman (or Caretaker Chairman as applicable here) is the Chairman of the State Caucus as provided for in Article 12.9 Sub (i) of the party Constitution (October 2014 As Amended) and remains the Party Leader in the State until further notice.”

Members of the chapter similarly declared all-party factional leaderships at different stakeholders’ meetings null and void as a means of bringing peace and sanity to the party ahead of 2023 general elections.
