TAMBUWAL: AKPABIO, IHEDIOHA EXCHANGE WORDS IN JONATHAN'S PRESENCE

Governor Akpabio

Akwa Ibom State governor, Godswill Akpabio, and Deputy Speaker House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha, traded words on Sunday over the issue of the removal of the Speaker of the House.

It was learnt that the duo was at a meeting called by President Goodluck Jonathan at the presidential villa last week.

According to a source, Akpabio, who is also the chairman of the

Hon. Emeka Ihedioha

PDP governors forum, took on Ihedioha and House Leader Hon. Mulikat Adeola-Akande for ‘allowing the party to lose grip in the House.”

Akpabio told Ihedioha that he and Mulikat deliberately allowed Tambuwal to be having a field day in the green chamber, which was why the party was finding things difficult, the source said.

“However, Ihedioha lambasted Akpabio, accusing him of not doing anything to bolster the party in the National Assembly. The deputy speaker told Akpabio that as the PDP governors forum chairman, “what has he done for the PDP caucus in the House”, the source said.
