Omokri Suggests Akpabio Was Planted By PDP To Infiltrate APC

‪”Don’t assume the worst about Senator Akpabio,” he wrote on his Facebook page on Monday afternoon. “There is more to this than meets the eye. The Akpabio I know is a clever player! In battle, you sometimes send some of your own agents to infiltrate your opponent's camp."

Reno Omokri, media aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan, says it is too early to criticise Godswill Akpabio, a serving senator and two-time former Governor of Akwa Ibom State, who is on the verge of dumping the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Rumours of Akpabio’s possible defection began gathering last week, and reached a crescendo over the weekend when he met President Muhammadu Buhari in London.

Already, Akpabio has been unofficially welcomed to the APC — first by the party’s official Twitter handle, and also by Lai Mohammed, who has “gladly welcomed” the defection of the Senate Minority Leader, saying it amounts to a “one-one goalless draw”.[story_link align="left"]61709[/story_link]

However, Omokri has suggested that Akpabio is set to join APC to ork for the PDP.

‪”Don’t assume the worst about Senator Akpabio,” he wrote on his Facebook page on Monday afternoon.

“There is more to this than meets the eye. The Akpabio I know is a clever player! In battle, you sometimes send some of your own agents to infiltrate your opponent’s camp. 

“This affords you the opportunity of destroying him from within. Politics is war by other means. Akpabio is no fool. Don’t render your judgment just yet.”
