"At the moment, no division in APC, I think that is rumour.." - Akpabio

The insinuation that ex-Senate Minority Leader Godswill Akpabio seat was likely to be declared vacant by Senate President Bukola Saraki was yesterday declared as mere “rumour” 

He said he was not perturbed by the report, saying there is a plot to declare his seat vacant. 

The Akwa Ibom North west senator insisted that if the Senate President declares his seat vacant, Saraki’s seat should also be declared vacant especially when there is no division in the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Asked if he is perturbed about reports that his seat might be declared vacant due to his defection to the APC, Akpabio said: “Even as you are looking at me, do I look perturbed? I have not heard the report. Because the reason why I think that is a rumour is that there is, at the moment, no division in the APC.

“The APC is one family. If you hear about R-APC that was not really a political party that was not a division, has since been consumed in what they call Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP).

“So, there is no division. And so, any defection from APC to PDP, we will like to declare those seats vacant.”
