Kufre Etuk, member representing Uruan State Constituency in the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, has reportedly picked the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket to represent the party in the election for the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly. Etuk defected from his former party, PDP, after Governor Godswill Akpabio and his powerful family conspired to deny him the PDP ticket the 2015 election.
