I have not resigned”, says A’Ibom Deputy Governor

Deputy Governor of Akwa Ibom state, Mr. Moses Ekpo has debunked the rumour making the round in the social media that he has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a statement signed by his chief press secretary, Mr. Ekikere Umoh, a copy which was obtained by our correspondent yesterday in Uyo, Ekpo said there was also no iota of truth that he has resigned his position.

He described the story of his purported defection and subsequent resignation as “concocted piece of a malicious hatchet job and a pack of lies”, appealing that it should be appropriately ignored.

The statement revealed that the deputy governor was currently representing the governor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel as a special guest of honour at the 2018 International Convention of Ati Annang holding in New York, United States of America and was yet to return to the country.
