Senator Godswill Akpabio has said that he does not regret leaving Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Akpabio said this during the weekend in his hometown in Essien Udim local government area of Akwa Ibom State where he went to bury his nephew.
He also said he did not regret recommending Udom Emmanuel as his successor.
Mr Emmanuel has been at loggerheads with Akpabio, forcing the former Senate minority leader to join APC.
He said: “I have no regret bringing Udom Emmanuel. You know like I always say, in 2015 I wasn’t looking for a governor for Godswill, I was looking for a governor for Akwa Ibom. So if Akwa Ibom is happy with him, Why not? I will be satisfied. You Know it is always good that you bring out somebody who is presentable.
“Even if you want to go to a football match you must look for good players. So for me I don’t have any regret over Udom Emmanuel. I pray that he does well for the state. And I also pray that God give him the wisdom as long as he has the opportunity to pilot the affairs of the state, he should do well for the happiness of our people. I have no regret at all.
“I have no regret equally of my joining the APC. I have no single regret. If I were to take the decision today I will go to the APC. I am happy in the APC. I am very happy to be in APC. I am excited and I thank God that the President won the election resoundingly all over the country.”
