Real APC is a political group in the APC canvassing support for the governorship bid of Senator John James Akpanudoedehe (PhD) in 2019.


There is a parallel exco in APC in Akwa Ibom State. In effect, APC as a political party, has two state chairmen; one loyal to Obong Umana and Obong Nsima Ekere. The major concern of this exciting is flushing it the old and original structure and members of the APC and promoted by new defectors into the party.

The other exco is loyal to Senator Akpanudoedehe and supported by those who founded the party but have been exploited and marginalised by the infiltrating horde of PDP members in the party now.

Akpanudoedehe was purportedly expelled for accusing the new found leaders of APC of bias in the sharing of appointments and selective empowerments of party members at the detriment of those who risked their lives to stabilize the party under the draconian policies of ex governor Akpabio.

Recall that only former PDP members who defected to the APC after the party won the presidential election were given appointment and have only been concerned about imposing themselves on the party in 2019.

Akpanudoedehe also picked issue with the reported appointment of Otuekong Don Etiebet as Caucus chairman of the APC saying it is suicidal, politically speaking, for the two main political parties in the state to be controlled by a section of the state.

Recall that Dr God's will Akpabio is the caucus chairman of PDP and hails from the same senatorial District and tribe with Otuekong Etiebet.

Etiebet and the interest bloc which he served, had moved against Akpanudoedehe because of this and plotted his expulsion which both the Southsouth and national caucus of the party have refused to sanction.

The party became polarised and divided after the failed purported expulsion leading to a vote of no confidence on the Amadu Atai led exco and subsequent dissolution of the exco by 2925 verifiable and registered members of the party.

The first damage was expulsion and the second was dissolution of the exco and the emergence of a parallel exco. That is politics.

It has been argued that the disillusion is invalid. Not really because technically and logically speaking, a body that appoints, by implication, has power to dissolve.

So if the members who elected Dr Amadu Attai have passed a vote of no confidence in him and his exco, it stands because under a democracy, government at all times, is sustained by the people and nothing else. That is a matter for another day.

That parallel exco had started acquiring offices across the state and on Wednesday, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe, was in ONNA to commission one of such chapter offices.

There is nothing wrong in Akpanudoedehe setting up offices in the state and gathering support for his ambition just like other party members are doing. If it is true that Mr Sam Frank sponsored the attack on the new party office, then he should be made to answer for same.

Security agencies should put him under watch because if he sponsored the vandals, it means he can or may sponsor further major attacks and cause breach of the peace in the state.

He as an individual or the Amadu Atai disbanded exco, does not have any power whatsoever to interfere on the running of the parallel exco just as the same parallel exco has not meddled into their affairs.

The reason is that they are interested parties and can't be Judges in their own case. It is a serious matter known to both the SSS and the Police in the state.

On 22nd March 2017 when the real APC organized the 6th Anniversary of the massacre of ACN members at lkot Ekpene, we explained our motives to both the Police and the SSS and secured their protection to carry out the event and run our politics.

If the security agencies have not found any reason to halt the real APC group and the parallel exco, who is Sam Frank to have vandalised the new office and why should he not be held responsible if there is any reprisal attack in ONNA?

I wish somebody calls him to order. I wish the security agencies step up their operations against those out to cause breach of the peace in the state.

I want to advise the two exco in APC to thread with caution. Those defectors who have seized the party against those who suffered to build it, should know that tempers are already high and be careful therefore not to add salt to the injury they have created.

They can do this by allowing political groups the freedom to operate and not intrude in their businesses.

This must be considered seriously to avoid unnecessary rancour and any possible reprisal attacks y political groups.

Written in good faith and love for APC
