Words of war as started raining in as Governorship election is near. In Akwa Ibom State, Gov. Akpabio faces two strong parties in ACN and CPC. THE governorship candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) in Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Larry Esin, yesterday said there was desperation in the camp of Governor Godswill Akpabio to win Tuesday’s election.

In a telephone interview, Esin said: "Governor Akpabio is too desperate. I am sorry to say that, but for a man that claims that he has done so much in Akwa Ibom, that alone should sell him to the electorate.

"I keep asking what about other things he has done in Akwa Ibom. He has introduced cultism as a way of life in Akwa Ibom, and he has insulted our traditional institutions .

But Commissioner for Information Mr. Aniekan Umanah denied the allegations.

On preparation for the governorship poll, Umanah said that PDP would repeat the magic of the National Assembly and Presidential elections during the governorship poll.
