Baring any last minute changes, the former Senate Minority Leader, Chief Godswill Akpabio has been penciled down by the Presidency as one of those eminent Nigerians to be nominated as Ambassadors.
This sharp move it was learnt from impeccable Villa Sources was aimed at consoling the former Senate Minority Leader who lost at last weeks Senatorial election.
Our Aso Rock sources claimed that the Presidency is very interested in retaining Akpabio in its Party fold and therefore not wanting to lose him back to his former Party the PDP, and therefore would dangle an Ambassadorial position to him as offer to assuage his loss at the polls, adding that the office of Chief Of Staff to the President was also being considered.
Also penciled down were few APC Senators who also lost their return bid to the Red Chambers to candidates of the PDP
It would be recalled that Senator Godswill Akpabio during the recently concluded polls, lost his return bid to the Red Chambers to the candidate of the PDP, Engr Chris Ekpenyong. Chief Akpabio its was also reported had approached an Abuja High Court where he obtained an interim injunction preventing INEC from giving certificate of return to Engr Ekpenyong.
That will mean exile in disguise for Mr Akpabio
