A former aide of past Akwa Ibom Governor, Godswill Akpabio, Ata Ikiddeh has come out to levy a heavy allegation on the People’s Democratic Party and the Niger Delta Avengers.
Ikiddeh who was the special assistant on diaspora matters to Akpabio took to his Facebook to label the Avengers as the military arm of the PDP.
In response to a question from someone on his Facebook page, Ikiddeh said, “I am afraid to admit that – but that’s what this government is turning the Avengers into: the ‘resistance’ wing of the PDP.
“A very dangerous scenario is unfolding. I wouldn’t be surprised if a copycat group in the North becomes the clandestine military wing of APC, not with their permission of course, but this is how these things begin to take shape, they get out of our control, Boko haram is our perfect example.
“If I tell you, all PDP members in detention will be released by the end of July, you’ll wonder where I got that from (I don’t actually know how many there are but I know Omisore was arrested and detained recently) – just watch and start counting.
“I am not sure of Dasuki and Kanu, the rumour of a coup has made their releases a security risk to the state. But I wouldn’t be surprised if some kind of House arrest is fangled out for this two.
“I am not bothered about whatever anyone says. I am only expressing my opinion. And I am doing so as a patriot. I love this country.”
