The minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill AKPABIO, has to decide whether to resign his recent appointment and pursue his ambition to return to the senate or to remain as a minister.
His dilemma follows the ruling of Appeal Court ordering a rerun of the national assembly election in Essien Udim local government area.
The Appeal Court sitting in Calabar, ruled that a fresh election be conducted within 90 days in Essien Udim local government, as a result of irregularities which both petitione and respondent parties admitted in their separate addresses.
Although the ruling was clearly in favour of the minister, his supporters found it hard to celebrate because the odds are stacked against their principal.
Going into the rerun, Akpabio is expected to register a minimum lead of 38,056 margin to upturn the election of Senator Chris Ekpenyong.
Furthermore, the minister is expected to resign his appointment under the law to be eligible to contest election. This is clearly not what the former governor WANTS. What should he do? Resign and contest or just continue is current job?
