A former governor of Akwa Ibom State and serving minister, Godswill Akpabio, has said he will not resign as the Minister of the Niger Delta despite vying for the 2023 presidential ticket, because the “law does not exist.”Akpabio, in an interview on Channels Television on Thursday, said Nigeria was very poor and shouldn’t have been one but the past administrations and the COVID-19 pandemic made it worst.
“I will only resign before the primaries if the guidelines of the party say I have to resign before the primaries but for now the law does not exist, it has been shut down by a court of competent jurisdiction,” he said. On the price of the forms, he said, “The N100million in my view is very fair. You see, even in modern democracies like America, it is not the candidate that sends himself into presidential elections; it is the people.
“I want to think that any serious presidential candidate does not need to go into his bank account and bring out N100m because you are not the person going to vote for yourself,”
They are the law makers and they are the lawbreakers
This Akpabio na Mumu. Who does he think he is lying to?
Ode! Common to go back to Senate, election you nor fil win
See them the thieves that can never retire we know. Collaboration of rougues and robbers. God will punish all of you
Because you already know that you ain't gonna win
Because Apc get Nigeria and nothing go happen
You are lawless nd want to be d PRESIDENT? NO WAY!!!
He blamed past administration meanwhile he was part of that administration. He is also part of this administration that sets a benchmark for poor performance in d history of Nigeria. If the next government leaves things as it is without making it worse they will look like angels!
The man is rude. It will be better to return his money to him… if that is possible
Only in Nigeria criminals openly declares to run for electoral offices. No shame
Same story I won't waste my time to open the article
I pity any body hoping for good thing to come out from this present government
Can you imagine? Only in a lawless country like Nigeria.
Public announcement!!! Politician and others dunno If you know, you are currupt in Nigeria and you like your freedom please go willingly pay your 100mill to APC, earlier the better than when you will be witch hunt by the next administration.Biko, jowo, Don Allah. Sign by oopooor
...and you will be disqualified later by the court.
Peter Obi said government Na business to them 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That explains why they are so desperate to hold on to power
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 He knows that we ain't stupid No 1 will vote for u sir
So this guy still remains as minister with all the atrocities commited. Why won't he has guts to be Banana Republic of Nigeria president
Destroyer of his motherland 🤦🏾♂️
Because you are a serious contender, you were thrown into the race to continue the distabilsation of the polity by the ruling Fulani cabals. When you are serious we will know.
Greedy politicians everywhere
All ministers under GEJ interested in elective office resigned at least 5 months to primaries. Ortom of Benue, Darius Ishaku of Taraba, Onyebuchi Chukwu from Ebonyi etc. No electoral act compliance just simple decency.
Nigeria is on auto reverse
Because you don't want to loose both ways 😂
See your face all of you are just doing fund raising for APC and their Presidential Flag Bearer in the name of Buying of Form. Yeye People you think some us does not know the truth.
Apc members and lawlessness are like 5&6.
Simple, you don't want to lose both ways.
APC AGENDA
Because nothing will happen
Send him efcc he resigns immediately.... He fears efcc more than anything.
Buhari appointees and shamelessness are like 5&6
U guys should leave him alone, God doesn't think the way men thinks
Another deluded by greed.
Fear of the unknown. Akpabio know fully well that he is no match to others aspirant. He was only push by some mischievous followers to declare because the state governor Udom Emmanuel declare. Not that both of them are saint.
😂😂😂😂
So that you will do the last looting.
Because it's better to actually finish up as a minister than gambling. If Akpabio runs for Akwa Ibom governorship now, It will take twice the energy and resources for his first time as governor to win again. He even struggled to win Senatorial
So many lies in his words on channel TV today
