There is currently confusion over the presidential ambition of Godswill Akpabio, Minister of Niger Delta.
There are conflicting reports over the ambition of the former Akwa Ibom governor.
While a version said he has pulled out of the race, another is claiming that he he only resigned.
The Minister’s Personal Assistant to the Minister on Media, Jackson Udom, confirmed the resignation to The Nation.
He said: “The Minister has resigned. He has submitted his resignation letter to the SGF. We are waiting for him at the ICC, where he is coming to submit his nomination form”.
Akpabio was/is gunning for the number one seat on the platform of the All Progressives Congress.
