The Deputy Governor to Obong Victor Attah said this in an interview with newsmen in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, on Sunday.
Ekpenyong said: “Asking me about a very young man who, per adventure, came to be initiated into a political party and grew from the ranks of being the chairman of a local government through the instrumentality of his boss – Dr Peter Odili – and became whatever he became.
“He now says he wants to fight the stem.
“You know everything has a stem.
“I will not take issues with him, but I think what he is taking advantage of is because our party has deviated from what it was supposed to be – the vision and mission of its founding fathers.
“Otherwise, you will not see anyone who became a governor of the PDP now becoming taller than the party.
“It would not have been, but I am yet to see how he will fight.
“That will be a surprise to say whether the PDP is alive.
“The PDP has gone into a cocoon.
“It’s yet to be revived and he thinks he has the oxygen to fight, but I think he does not.”
