Udom power-drunken even before nomination 

Even though he is yet to be officially nominated as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party for next year’s gubernatorial elections, Secretary to the Akwa Ibom State Government, Emmanuel Udom, is already behaving like a king in his manor. Sources in the state told TheOraclenaija that Udom has carried on like a de-facto governor over the past few weeks. This, of course, is in connivance with his godfather, Governor Godswill Akpabio, who is bent on imposing him on the people of the state no matter what anyone says.

This, according to our sources would account for the decision of the governor to leave the announcement of the recent cabinet reshuffle to Udom while he tactically took a trip out of Uyo, and did not deem it fit for the Deputy Governor who is next to him to convey the decision to cabinet members. “This was a way of telling everyone that he has made up his mind about making Udom the next governor of the state.”

Prior to the cabinet reshuffle announcement, sources told us that Udom has got so power drunk that he has even started to openly castigate the Akpabio administration, calling the governor a reckless man and promising to upturn most of the things that Akapbio claims to have done in his eight years the moment he is elected Governor.

Earlier this year, Udom displayed a reckless thirst for power when he published a personal thank you advertisement in the newspapers on the official letter head of the State. Not a few people felt alarmed at this obscene display of power just a few months after he became SSG. Days after he withdrew the said advertorial only to replace it with another carrying the logo of the office of SSG. Many people in the state are wondering how Akpabio will sell the candidature of this seemingly power drunk man.
