Going Going Going…Akpabio’s Position As Niger Delta Minister Slipping Out Of His Hands

Labule Thomas

Insiders disclosed that there are strong indications that Godsill Akpabio’s position as Minister is speedily slipping out of his hands.

Societynow.ng learned that unsurprising the massive corruption allegation rocking the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) plays a major role in the development.

Revelations from Joy Nunieh, the Ex – Managing Director of the NDDC- and other sources – indict Akpabio in alleged N40billion fraud.

Akpabio is generally accused of abandoning other responsibilities as the Minister for Niger Delta to midwife the activities that allegedly indict him in the N40Billon fraud allegations.

Sources disclosed that those out for the ministers are passionately pushing for his suspension from office for ‘’a proper’’ investigation to be carried out.

According to a source, ‘’Akpabio’s involvement in this mess just handed his opponents the perfect opportunity to deal with him’’.

One of the major forces against Akpabio is the pro-Adams Oshiomhole caucus within the ruling All Progressives Congress.

Aside from fighting Oshiomhole tooth and nail to install Kemebradikumo Pondei as the acting Managing Director of the NDDC and appoint loyalists as Board Members, Akpabio played a pivotal role in the ouster of Oshiomhole as the National Chairman of the APC.

‘’And now it’s payback time offered on a platter of gold’’ Societynow.ng gathered.

Sources disclosed that the campaign against Akpabio is premised on the need for the President to uphold the ideals of the anti-corruption fight which is supposed to be the hallmark of his administration.

‘’And from the looks of things, Akpabio would have a very hard time surviving the onslaught’’ societynow.ng learned.
