The beneficiary of Asiwaju Tinubu’s network, another consummate politician of uncommon hue, Senator Akpabio, has just reaped the gains of his loyalty: from when he stepped down during the primary election to when he led his home state, a strong PDP stronghold to break the dominance and deliver to Asiwaju Tinubu, more than the threshold of 25% at the presidential election, aware that the Chairman of the PDP Presidential Campaign was the state Governor, Akpabio doubled his effort during the campaign, even to having his wife, whom he most trusted, Lady Ekaette Unoma Akpabio, acting as the unofficial returning officer, who stood firm to ensure that the APC was NOT shortchanged by the PDP rampaging power apparachik and many other supportive roles he played to ensure that Asiwaju emerged as the President-elect.
