Our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom State has over the last few months endured a crazy influx of politicians from the dwindling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to our fold.
Inasmuch as the doors of our great party are always open to new entrants, we are however disturbed by the dangerous trend of these new political converts professing support for our party, our candidates, attending major meetings, congresses, press conferences and rallies of our party while still remaining card carrying members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). It is absurd.
While we appreciate them for seeing the APC as the ideal party for a democracy, their actions smack of lack of courage, inconsistency, indiscipline, disrespect and does not portray our party in very good light. This is a party we fought hard since the days of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) to preserve when some of them were having fun and snuffing life out of our members.
Recent newspaper reports indicate that some of the PDP bigwigs who gate-crashed into the APC in the course of the last general elections are already planning to return to their vomit in the PDP. We are also in the know that the latter-day APC politicians were mainly supporters of Obong Umana Okon Umana.
We wish to state categorically that the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom State is not a dumping ground for out-of-favour PDP politicians. The like of Chief Don Etiebiet, Chief Otu Ita Toyo, Obong Nsima Ekere, Obonganwan Imo Isemin, Obonganwan Rita Akpan, Hon Aniekan Akpan, Barr Effiong Abia, Barr Ekpeyong Ntekim, and others should be proud to fully identify with us so that we can separate the wheat from the chaff.
Our leader Senator John James Udoedeghe is in court and with his anticipated victory, sanity will return again to our great party.
APC…CHANGE!!!

Mr Samuel Udobong
