Senate Minority Leader, Godswill Akpabio, has accused the party’s National Leader, Bola Tinubu and Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, for his failed bid to return to the Senate for a second term, saying that: “God will shame them ultimately.”
Akpabio, who lost his re-election bid to Chris Ekpenyong, was quoted as saying that Amaechi particularly worked against his re-election, so as to maintain his Leadership of the APC, in the South South.
The former Akwa Ibom State Governor, who was the PDP Leader in the Senate, before decamping to the APC, polled 83,158 votes, while Ekpenyong secured 118,215 votes.
He allegedly accused Tinubu of deliberate refusal to use his influence in the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to ensure the removal of the State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mike Igini.
Akpabio was said to have vowed to fight with his last blood, to retain the Senatorial seat to shame Amaechi, whom he said never liked his defection to the APC.
He charged his core loyalists to rise and fight to regain his political pride.
