Why APC sacked Godswill Akpabio as State Party Leader

As the Akwa Ibom State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) resolves its crisis, it has taken a bold step to sack the leader of the faction, minister of Niger Delta Affairs and former governor, Godswill Akpabio.

The decision was taken at the Party’s Second Stakeholders Meeting which held on Sunday, April 11 at Sheergrace Arena,Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.

According to the communique issued at the end of the meeting, Godswill Akpabio was removed as a State leader due to the gross violation of the party constitution during his appointment.

“That the stakeholders endorse the decision of the State Executive Committee (SEC) to declare as a nullity the unilateral proclamation and announcement of Sen. Godswill Akpabio as the State Party Leader of APC in gross violation of the Party’s Constitution in the unauthorised and illegal Stakeholders meeting of Sunday, March 28, 2021.”
