Godswill Akpabio, over-talkative politician in Nigeria history

This photo of Joaquim from Angola represents what Akwa Ibom people refer to as ‘inua ekpat’ (basket mouth). Inua ekpat means someone who is loquacious.

Godswill Akpabio is perhaps the most loquacious politician in the history of Nigeria, and most times he gets really ridiculous and embarrassing when making public speeches without reading from prepared scripts. What’s your thought on this disturbing character trait of the Akwa Ibom governor?

Think Akwa Ibom! is compiling and tweeting people’s reactions to Akpabio’s current controversial remarks where he made reference to former governor, Obong Victor Attah as a ‘local champion’.  Follow us on twitter: @thinkakwaibom. You could join the conversation using the hash tag #AkpabioUnleashed.

Here, below, is one of the reactions we picked from Facebook:

‘Akpabio is a governor and not a village youth leader, therefore his utterances should at all times commensurate with the ethics of the office of which he represents. I learnt he has a dream of becoming a comedian after his tenure, but let him exercise some patience and hold on till then.’ - Bridget Ben #AkpabioUnleashed

  1. Like really? Only a moron would come up with something like this. You have no respect. From all indications you're the talkative. Senseless one at that. You can never accomplish half of what Governor Godswill Obot Akpabio has accomplished even in a million lives, it's something I'm certain of. You've been noticed, take several seats

    2. I can see you're upto some mischief. You really have nothing on Gov. Akpabio that's why you come up with all sorts of ridiculous insinuations. Let me make one thing, the only thing I know about Gov. Godswill Akpabio is that he's a man who WORKS the talk. If you were given an opportunity to rule Akwaibom (Which will never happen) people like you would ruin the state. I'd advise you channel your hate somewhere else. You picked on the wrong guy and I'm sure a lot of people would agree with me.

  3. I don't know why in the name of writing, people will come up with all sorts of rubbish. This is totally stupid. Akwaibom has never had a Governor like Godswill Akpabio. He's brought a total transformation to Akwaibom state. I can't even begin to mention. So when I see things like this , I just wonder why some people were given brains but can't make use of it. Let's applaud an achiever who has proven himself over and over again.

  4. All I know is that Governor Godswill Akpabio is the best thing that has happened to Akwaibom state. It would be hard for anyone to surpass his achievements. Oh yes! I said it.

  5. Ridiculous article. Foolish writer. Unscrupulous writing. So what if his speaking isn't good? What has your dumb skull done for this country or your state? Nothing! aKpabio knows what he is doing and he is a Great leader. Get a life sucker! I am sure that's your picture placed before the article.

  7. Only a true talkative would come up with such rubbish. you are here talking trash. i bet you wouldn't even be able to perform as an ordinary youth leader if you were given the opportunity. and then you had to use such a distasteful image on your crap article because you want to drive home a point? such nonsense

  9. I'm struggling to understand the point of this article and I can't. You mean you created a blog just for insulting a good governor? Even if you choose not to appreciate all the great reforms Gov. Akpabio has brought to our state, can you point one good thing you have done to improve the state of our nation? Do you realise that this site can be used to build the image of our state but instead you use it to tear down the good works of others by allowing yourself be a tool of destruction. Anyways, to yourself be true.
