Battle For 2023: PDP Set To Go Down As Akwa Ibom Gov Threatens To Pull Out 

Uyo, Akwa Ibom -With the recent resignation threat from the chairman of Atiku Abubakar’s presidential campaign committee (PCC), Emmanuel Udom, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been thrown into yet another crisis ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

According to The Sun, the governor of Akwa Ibom is reportedly not pleased with the refusal of the party to release campaign funds for the state chapter of the party.

The governor was reported to have confided in some members of his circle about his frustration with Atiku’s refusal to release funds for his campaign in the state.

Source disclosed that though the PDP is the ruling party in the state, Atiku is not popular among the people, which was why Governor Udom is planning to start campaigning early.

The source’s statement reads in part:

“At the moment, our governor has said he would not be spending a dime of the state’s funds on the presidential campaign because we don’t even have more than enough resources for our national and state Assemblies campaigns.”
