Despite the shared surname and state of origin, there's no confirmed familial link between Usoro Akpabio and Senate President Godswill Akpabio. Still, the question keeps surfacing. Why?
- Usoro Akpabio is from Uruan LGA, while Godswill Akpabio hails from Essien Udim—different roots, same state.
- Media curiosity surged after Usoro was appointed MD of the South-South Commission.
- No reliable source has verified any family connection between the two Akwa Ibom natives.
In Nigeria, where names often carry legacy weight, many wondered if Usoro’s rise was tied to Godswill’s influence. But in her own right, she’s carved a path that hasn’t leaned on family ties—or at least, none confirmed.
Should public figures clarify their family ties, or do we need to shift focus to merit and track record? What matters more to you—name or narrative?
