The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is reportedly making frantic efforts to dissuade Senator Godswill Akpabio from defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The senator is reported to have fallen out with his successor, Governor Udom Emmanuel and the PDP is making effort not to lose him.
A PDP source told the Nation that the national chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus, was locked in a marathon meeting with Akpabio in his Asokoro Abuja home at the weekend over the issue.
There are reports that the fallout between Akpabio and his governor followed the alleged unwillingness of Emmanuel to open the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel, Ikot Ekpene which Akpabio was said to have built and furnished.
Another issue was the said failure of the governor to complete a portion of the Uyo-Ikot Ekpene road.
Akpabio had reportedly hinted that he might defect when he told supporters at a mega rally that a political party is just a vehicle for winning election.
