The All Progressives Congress governorship aspirant in Akwa Ibom State, John Udoedehe, has threatened to defect to the Peoples Democratic Party if the former fails to cancel the result of its governorship primaries in the state.

Udoedehe said he would explore options to substantiate his calls for the cancellation of the APC governorship primary, but would dump the party for the PDP if it remained unfair to him.

Addressing journalists in Uyo on Thursday, Udoedehe said the defection of the former Secretary to the Akwa Ibom State Government, Mr. Umana Umana, from PDP to APC might destroy the latter.

He added that he had to walk away from the governorship primaries because he (Udoedehe) did not want a repeat of what happened in 2011.

Udoedehe said the APC constitution did not make provision for Option A4 which was used during the primaries that made Umana to emerge as the partys governorship candidate.

He said, I will pursue all internal mechanism to resolve the problem but if the party remains adamant to corruption and fraud, I will dump it for PDP.

I am not moving to PDP for now. It is not going to be a personal decision; many of our followers will meet and decide on a way forward for the interest of our group.

The way forward will mean moving to PDP and it will also mean that we have to choose between one evil and another evil.

I believe that APC has the ability to resolve internal crisis and Akwa Ibom State cannot be an exception. If the party decides to do otherwise, then I can take a decision.

He denied that he had been paid N500m by Governor Godswill Akpabio to move from APC to PDP, describing it as a speculation aimed at denting his image.
