The former governor said he knows one of them who has publicly endorsed the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and a PDP senatorial candidate but would rush to Uyo to claim chairman of the party.<\/p>\n<p>He further that someone in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2023\/01\/08\/why-buhari-apc-chieftains-distance-themselves-from-tinubus-campaign-pdp\/\">APC<\/a> has taken steps to destabilize the party for the benefit of the PDP.<\/p>\n<p>Akpabio said the person had instituted seven cases in court against his party\u2019s governorship candidate, Akanimo Udofia.<\/p>\n<p>He revealed this in a statement released through his Chief Press Secretary, Jackson Udom.<\/p>\n<p>The statement reads, \u201cI have heard of several other groups being set up within the party by other party leaders. I am not against it, so long as they are being set up in support of the party and our Presidential candidate. I will personally support and attend their meetings anytime I am around in the State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will not support a situation where some leaders of the party in the State would be shouting Asiwaju in the day and PDP (Atiku) in the night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am very much aware of a particular person in our party, who has publicly endorsed the governorship candidate of the PDP and its Senatorial candidate but would rush down to Uyo to say I am the chairman of the rally for Tinubu.
