Governor Akpabio spends N6million on lunch atPDP meeting

The Governor of Akwa Ibom State and Chairman of
the PDP Governors Forum, PDPGF, Godswill Akpabio,
yesterday gave out the sum of N6million for lunch –
N1 million each to all the state chairmen of the party
in the South South region.
Akpabio, who has been courting controversy in the
past few weeks, made the donation as a reaction to
Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan’s stance, that party
members should be fed well.
“I join all my brothers in the South-South in
welcoming you (Tukur). Even at my position as
elected governor, I must tell you this. Even if you tar
all the roads in the South-South without putting food
on the table, our members will not appreciate the
party. If you want to prevent our members from
straying to other parties, you must put food in the
stomach of our supporters”, Uduaghan said.
After announcing the donation in the hall of the Civic
Centre, venue of the South-South special zonal
executive committee meeting on Sunday, Akpabio also
beseeched the state chairmen, not to cross over to
other parties.
