June 28, (THEWILL) – The Director, Political Affairs of the South/South Presidential Support Committee, Hon. Frank Ossai, has dismissed the meeting and statement issued by Hon. Gideon Samani that suspended the Minister of Niger Delta, Senator Godswill Akpabio, from the body for “inactivity and poor leadership.”

Ossai described the move as “a jamboree of a power drunk group in solidarity with the northerners in the committee.”

The PSC founder and National Facilitator, Hon. Gideon Sammani, and the Organisation’s Director of Media, Dr. Kailani Muhammad, had last weekend issued a press statement, stating that Akpabio’s suspension was carried out to ensure the survival and the revitalization of the organisation.

According the release, the event where Akpabio was suspended was the “National General Meeting and Merit Award” of the PSC and the former Akwa Ibom State Governor was slated to deliver a speech.

He said: “The 41-member national executive committee said Akpabio was undermining the progress of the organisation, which they said was the platform through which he got his ministerial appointment.

“While PSC has supported the APC and the re-election of President Muhammad Buhari in the 2019 election, regrettably it is gradually drifting due to failed leadership of the National Coordinator.

“We are worried that in an attempt to bring back PSC to glory, whose members have committed themselves to the successful reelection of the President in 2019, the National Coordinator, whose appointment as Minister was through the platform, has abandoned the organisation and its members.

“But we cannot hold back and watch PSC that was positively established to sink as a result of inactivity. Those who worked for APC and the President must be carried along.”

In a swift reaction to Sammani’s statement, Ossai who described the meeting and press release as poorly framed and lopsided, said it was a ridicule of the whole outing of the entire committee.

He said: “The decisions reached by these selected few hold no water as their affirmation is never in the interest of the President who appointed Distd. Sen Godswill Akpabio as the Presidential Support Committee National Coordinator rather of a privileged few who are constantly bankrolled by their ATM machines located in their various areas.

“Presidential support Committee under the Leadership of Honourable Minister of Niger Delta Affairs task supporters to remain resolute, calm, and disregard the jamboree meeting called by these few greedy fellow with the aim of milking our treasury, as the President who appointed him has not removed or suspended him.

“We however, urged our Niger-delta Nation, well wishers and lovers of the Minister and Former Governor of Akwa-Ibom to disregard the so called suspension as he remains one of the trusted frontline Minister of Mr President and he is highly committed to bringing a new political face to the Niger Delta

“We hereby unanimously say that this resolution(s) must not be honoured: Akpabio remains the National Coordinator of the political support Organization of President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressive Congress (APC).”
