Kenneth Okonkwo, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has lashed out at the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, over the latter’s statement that the opposition coalition is dead.
It was reported that Akpabio made the comment during plenary on Tuesday when he read a letter announcing the defection of senator for Abia South, Enyinnaya Abaribe.
On the defection, Akpabio said: “I think ADC is dead. How many times are you going to defect? A month? Three times? But let’s compile the whole list so it doesn’t look like a daily ritual.
“List the names of defectors from all the political parties and their party destinations. If you are transferring from ADC, write all of you. When you enter NDC you write all of you. “If you are going to Accord, you write too.”
Reacting to the statement on ARISE Television on Wednesday, Okonkwo said: “The National Assembly under Akpabio is dead.
“I will react him simply, the only dead institution in Nigeria is the National Assembly that is supervised by the dead Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
“You can imagine a man who is over citing the president who has three budget running at the same time and he does not have the light in him to talk about the sufferings of Nigerians, yet what he knows how to talk is to talk about the ADC. “Only Akpabio’s National Assembly is dead.
