*Essien Udim Aspirant Abducted for Opposing Ex Governor* * Nse Ntuen Rejected as AKHA Consensus Candidate * Kinsman Alleges Akpabio Patron of Akwa Marine Cult





Emerging facts have shown that no consensus has been reached by the APC on the House of Assembly seat of Essien Udim state constituency as earlier alleged, as the meeting ended in chaos following the irrational behaviour of the convener, Sen. Godswill Obot Akpabio, who assaulted and ordered the abduction of Mr. Samuel Mel Ikpa, one of the aspirants.


According to a press release signed by an APC chieftain and an aspirant, Chief Etido Ibekwe, the meeting on Sunday, September 30, 2018 was a farce as attempts by Sen. Akpabio to coerce them into accepting a nonperforming state lawmaker, Mr. Nse Ntuen, was met with stiif resistance.


Ibekwe a former leader of the state House of Assembly, stated that Nse Ntuen responded by accusing Mr. Ikpa of working against Akpabio as well as exposing activities of Akwa Marine cult group, which the former governor is allegedly a patron.


"The said meeting ended in chaos following the arrest of Mr Samuel Ikpe on the orders of Akpabio, following Nse Ntuen's accusations against Mel that he is behind all anti Akpabio/anti Akwa Marine reports emanating from Midim Atan in Essien Udim, Mel's hometown and therefore such chaotic ending could not have been an avenue where a consensus candidate was adopted under the aforementioned circumstances".


In his words, " contrary to the lies being peddled around orchestrated by Arc Ubokutom Nya, at no point in the meeting between Senator Goodwill Akpabio and the Essien Udim APC Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly aspirants, held on Sunday evening at the Ukana residence of the former Governor, was Rt Hon Nse Ntuen endorsed as the consensus candidate".


He further revealed that while Akpabio did however plead that Nse Ntuen be allowed a second term, he, Hon Dr Etido Ibekwe, spoke vehemently against Hon Ntuen being considered as a consensus candidate. 

Another aspirant, Mr. Samuel Mel Ikpa, " also spoke vehemently against Hon Ntuen being considered as a consensus candidate, a position that angered Senator Goodwill Akpabio who ordered the arrest of Mr Mel".



The one time lawmaker reasoned that if there was a consensus candidate chosen in the said meeting as claimed by Arc Ubokutom Nya, at least, there would have been a group photograph of all aspirants with the consensus candidate as proo that at no point in the meeting of Sunday, September 30, 2018, held at the Ukana residence of Senator Goodwill Akpabio was Rt Hon Nse Ntuen endorsed as the consensus candidate for the 2019 Essien Udim APC House of Assembly ticket.


It is on record that Akwa Marine cult group is among cult groups banned by the Akwa Ibom State Government and the Nigeria Police Force.
