Moses Ekpo under pressure to resign
...as AKHA back tracks on impeachment plots
All is not well with the Akwa Ibom State Executive Council as the feud between Godswill Akpabio and his successor Udom Emmanuel is taking a bitter toll on governance in the state.
As at the last count two Exco members Udo Ekpenyong and Etekamba Umoren were consumed even when the commissioner for Information and Strategy Charles Udoh says their relief of appointment is part of strategies adopted by the government to continue strengthening the Exco for greater work.
Another Exco member who may likely be consumed in the Akpabio, Udom inferno may be the Akwa Ibom State Deputy Governor, Mr. Moses Ekpo whom THE INK gathered has come under intense pressure to resign his position and to say as a result of personal reasons.
Our eagle eyed reporter understands that there is so much anger in the inner caucus of Governor Udom Emmanuel that Mr. Moses Ekpo was the one that called the independence Hall meeting in Abak that Godswill Akpabio used the platform to throw tantrums on the state Governor.
Those who confided in our reporter maintained that ever since that unceremonious position came from Akpabio, that the relationship between Governor Udom Emmanuel and his Deputy Moses Ekpo has been less than cordial.
Government House sources maintained to THE INK reporter that the unfettered access Moses Ekpo hitherto had to Udom looks bridged as the old man do not really access the Governor as usual as he used to.
Those who work in the Deputy Governor’s office hinted our reporters that Uncle Mo himself has realized the effect Akpabio’s inglorious statement has done to his relationship with the Governor and hence why he seems to be relapsing in his confusion.
THE INK understands that Udom’s right hand men find it reluctant to believe that Moses Ekpo did not know what Senator Akpabio was going to say on that meeting. They are also of the opinion that Moses Ekpo coordinated and organized an event that encouraged the former Governor to throw tantrums on the state Governor.
THE INK gathered that Udom’s men are even more angry that the Deputy Governor after that incidence never did anything to show his disapproval of the statements the former Governor made against his successor.
Many sources say, the realization of the anger Udom’s men is nursing against the Deputy Governor has seriously affected the way and manner Moses Ekpo is reacting to issues in governance.
This development in the state Exco THE INK was informed has not greeted Mr. Moses Ekpo very well especially as most of those working directly with the state Governor now see the Deputy Governor as a traitor and one who cannot defend his boss in times like this.
Sources very close to Uncle Mo while exchanging views with our reporters said, the state Deputy Governor does not really enjoy being treated with so much level of suspicions and had at a time very recently contemplated resigning from his position so as to avoid what one of his aides described as insult from some small boys in the state Exco.
