In an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics programme, Akpata expressed his determination, stating that he is unfazed by the competition from over 28 aspirants vying for the party’s ticket. Despite concerns about the candidate selection process, Akpata emphasized his commitment to the party.

Addressing the potential challenges in the primary election, he said, “There are definitely glitches, and I hope that those who superintended over the affairs will go back to the drawing board and ensure that we don’t have a repeat of what we had in those states.”

Acknowledging the uncertainties, Akpata asserted his democratic values, stating, “If I lose, I will go home. Political harlotry is not one of my strong points. I came to this party because I believe in what the party stands for. If some of the operators of the party are behaving in an underhanded manner, that does not mean the party has changed. What you do is to ensure that you enthrone leadership that works in tandem with the objectives of the party. The solution is not to jump ship. You are not going to hear of me jumping ship to another party.”

Akpata also revealed that he does not have the support of the LP’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, but he is confident that Obi would endorse whoever emerges as the party’s candidate in the state, considering the competitive field with 28 aspirants.
