The duo of Senator Godswill Akpabio and Obong Nsima Ekere were moved with sympathy as the 5,000 secondary school teachers allegedly sacked by Governor Udom Emmanuel recounted their misfortunes in the hands of the incumbent state government.
Mr. Sunday Akpan, who led the embattled teachers as they stormed Uyo Township Stadium Monday to officially declare their decampment from the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC, lamented that some of the 5000 teachers have died, many have psychologically been traumatized as the result of the unwarranted sack, while a handful of others have moved out of the state to look for alternative means of survival.
 Mr. Akpan further noted that the National Industrial Court has been approached for redress, but bemoaned how Mr. Udom Emmanuel uses taxpayers’ money to battle them in court, saying Udom Emmanuel-led government has failed the state while expressing hope in Obong Nsima Ekere as the man who will restore confidence of Akwa Ibom youths in government.

It became an electrifying atmosphere as the teachers openly declared their membership for the APC in the presence of the party’s governorship candidate, Obong Nsima Ekere, and Senator Godswill Akpabio whose administration gave them employment in 2015.
While reacting to the incident of the purported sack, Obong Nsima Ekere, said the essence of government is to create jobs for citizens as every responsible government must be concerned if its citizens are employed or unemployed. He lauded the 5,000 teachers for taking a lawful step by approaching the court of competence jurisdiction to address the matter while asking the aggrieved teachers to relax as the days of the incumbent state government is numbered.

“I am happy that you took a lawful step going to court. The incoming APC government will be the government that will respect the rule of law. We will respect the decision of the court. You cannot have a government that is lawless. When you are running a government, you must respect all court orders. So I want to assure you to relax. You can count the remaining days, they are not much. We will do the right thing when we return,” he assured them.
Moved with compassion, Senator Godswill Akpabio stressed that the over 5,000 teachers that were illegally dismissed by Udom’s government have mothers,  fathers, siblings and  children that look up to them, hinting that Obong Nsima Ekere will address their grievances.
Also, over 6,000 members of Ibom Primary School Cooks Association were led by Dr. Abasiama Anamnyie to decamp from the PDP to APC at Uyo Township Stadium.
According to the group leader Dr. Anamnyie, the cooks were endlessly cheated by the PDP government operating in the state. She revealed how the N70 bonus and other entitlements given to them by the federal government have always been seized by Udom’s government.
The APC was delighted to receive from the PDP over 15,000 members of Tricycle (Keke) Owners Association of Nigeria, TOAN, led by its coordinator, Mr. Udeme Udoidung. The association has branches spread all over the 31 local government areas in the state.
Other groups that defected from the PDP to APC during the governorship campaign flag-off on Monday include Akwa Ibom State and Township Service Minibus Owners and Drivers Association whose leader, Comrade Vincent Emmek-Abasi , moved with 3,800 members into the APC fold.
Over 7,000 members of Mboho Nto Annang Welfare were led by Elder (Dr.) Thursday Akpan and Adede Mbre Isaac Udofia to the APC from PDP, while 5,000 members of Grassroots Mobilizers for Good Governance were led by Comrade Victoria Uko to declare membership for the APC.
Other defectors from PDP to APC include 100 members of the Association of Film and Television Students, National Film Institute led by Owoedinyene Jacob and Atiku Prayer Group for Good Governance consisting of 1,200 members led by Ubong Isaiah.
