Hon Uwem Udoma, the Former Deputy Speaker of Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, warned that another ‘yellow card ‘ from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to the All Progressives Congress, APC, will drive the party into extinction.
Udoma, who spoke on a program by Inspiration Radio, tagged: “Team Nigeria”, which was monitored by reporters correspondent identified lack of power-sharing formula, greed, ego, pride, and lack of unity among the party leaders as factors that will cause the party’s downfall in the State.
He said such an incident was ridiculous and had impeded APC’s ability to present itself as an alternative to the PDP in the State.
Hon Udoma, who berated the APC for constantly antagonizing the INEC, said the inability of Akwa Ibom APC delegates to vote at the just concluded APC presidential primary in Abuja was a proof that the electoral commission remained the referee in the contest and showed the extent the ongoing war of ego and pride had destroyed the party.
He added, “all those displaying ego and pride must be careful and realise that INEC remains the referee.”
“We have a yellow card already. A second yellow card will not be good for APC and there will be more red cards from INEC to Akwa Ibom APC in 2023. Referees also give red cards to coaches and technical advisers and they leave the pitch.
“Lack of power sharing formula has resulted in the party constantly washing her dirty linens in public, a ridiculous situation that has continually impeded APC’s ability to present itself as a better alternative to the PDP in Akwa Ibom.”
