Akwa Ibom Deputy Governor Moses Ekpo Resigns

By Modupe Gbadeyanka

Deputy Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Mr Moses Ekpo, has resigned from the position amid rumour that former Governor of the state, Mr Godswill Akpabio, is leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Akwa Ibom is governed by a member of the PDP, Mr Udom Emmanuel, but the former Governor of the state, who is now a Senator, got the senatorial seat through the PDP, which is the main opposition party at the federal level.

A tweet by @APCNewspaper on Monday morning, which confirmed Senator Akpabio’s defection, posted that, “BREAKING: @MrUdomEmmanuel Deputy, Pa Moses tenders resignation. To join @SenatorAkpabio in @OfficialAPCNg on Wednesday.”
