When Think Akwa Ibom!
had news over the weekend of Gov. Akpabio fighting dirty against the Chapter
chairman of PDP in Ikot Ekpene Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, Chief
Sunny Ibanga, at first it sounded unbelievable because Chief Ibanga is a
well-known supporter and hit man of the governor. Remember, it was Sunny Ibanga
that warned against PDP governorship aspirants, apart from the governor’s anointed
man, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, from visiting Ikot Ekpene Federal Constituency for
political consultation. (In case you missed the story, read it here.)
We had confirmed the
story of Akpabio’s war against Sunny Ibanga from at least four different sources,
before Ibanga himself issued a press release on the matter. (Read Sunny Ibanga’s
press release at the end of the story)
From our findings, the
summary of the trouble Akpabio is having with Sunny Ibanga is that the later
has refused to support the political ambition of Udom Emmanuel; the chief has
taken a stand for former Akwa Ibom deputy governor, Obong Nsima Ekere as far as
2015 Akwa Ibom governorship election is concerned.
We publish here a news
report in the Sensor newspaper on the battle of the titans. Read the story

This story, culled
from the Punch newspaper, is a pointer to what Gov. Godswill Akpabio may be
planning for Akwa Ibom State ahead of the 2015 election. This is exactly how
the 2011 deadly political violence started in Akwa Ibom State when armed thugs
hired by Gov. Godswill Akpabio’s hitmen, Chief Sunny Ibanga and the chairman of Essien Udim Local
Government Area, Nse Ntuen attacked Senator J.J. Udoedehe in Ikot Ekpene. Now,
who will call Akpabio and his evil clan to order before they throw the state
into complete darkness?
