Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State said, having taken stock of preparations for the forthcoming general elections, it has become clear that the Peoples Democratic Party would win the March 28 Presidential election on the first ballot.

He boasted that the party’s candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan, would win over 90 percent of the votes cast across the country.

“The meeting was just to take stock of the situation on ground and the report is very favourable. It looks like on the first ballot, we will win well over 90 percent of the votes across Nigeria,” Akpabio told State House correspondents at the end of a marathon meeting Jonathan had with PDP governors and governorship candidates at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Monday evening.

Akpabio, who is the chairman of the PDP Governors Forum, said it was clear that the opposition was already in disarray ahead of the elections.

He said he had always insisted that propaganda that the opposition is known for could only take one to a limit after which the reality would be clear.

He said with the latest development, Nigerians were now aware of the giant strides of the present administration in the different sectors of the nation’s economy.

The governor said in the four years of Jonathan’s administration, the President had performed better than any President in the history of the country.

He said, “Today, Nigerians are much more aware of what the PDP administration under President Goodluck Jonathan has been doing.

“I want to commend not only the President but also members of the Federal Executive Council who have opened the eyes of Nigerians to know that so many things have been done in the different sectors of the economy.

“It was as if people did not know these things because the opposition took over and they kept saying PDP was doing nothing. Yet, in four years of the President’s tenure, he has achieved far more than any President had ever done in the history of our country.

“We are very proud of the achievements of the PDP, not just at the federal level but also at the different states.

“If you want to assess state-by-state, pick the opposition’s best APC state in Nigeria and compare it with the best state of the PDP, you will see that we tower above the opposition in all ramifications.

“The next election, particularly the election of March 28 will be about performance and issues. Nigerians have since gone above the level of tribalism and ethnic or religion differences. God put us together in this country and He knew that we are a multiplicity of religions and tribes.”

Akpabio said the same way Nigerians came together in 2011 and voted for Jonathan, they would return him based on the fact that he has performed creditably and that the PDP has discharged its responsibilities to Nigerians to the best of its ability based on available resources.

Mr Jona is afraid of conducting election, because he does not know his faith, as things stand, he is unsure what will become of him. He is busy bribing everyone, bt I know his time is numbered

I'll rather dig grave,call my friends and neighbours and give my PVC a befitting burial than vote for Mallam Buhari.
GEJ 2019

richol:
NO DOUBT .......GEJ TILL BUHARI STOPS EATING THE FRUIT OF KNOWLEGE GOOD ND EVIL

egift:
Buhari is winning this on a landslide. Change is Unstoppable. Sai Buhari.

abacusCm:
Akpabio is right because GEJ will win 90% only in Bayelsa state while the incoming president (GMB) will win at least 70% in other states.

vedaxcool:
Is this man ok at all.

It is common knowledge that most pdp politicians smoke crack b4 they speak.

doctokwus:

Its called propaganda.Make an outlandish statement,repeat it in the hope that your followers wud come to bliv it and also hope it wud cast doubts in your opponents supporters.
A buhari that got about 37% of total votes cast in 2011 with virtually no party structure and with the imbedded computer manipulation in INEC data base and the inflated votes in the east and SS coupled with the Tinubu alliance with GEJ in d southwest is now expected to lose an election with a reversal in these factors?
Even if PDP should attempt to rig,where are d states they can rig with landslides in?Only those they feel they can muscle out the opposition;viz, southeast, but without Imo and southsouth but without Rivers. Their rigging plan wud also run into a hitch in Anambra for this simple reason:APGA is fielding strong candidates in the NASS holding same day,it wud thus be technically less likely to rig in a landslide just for the presidency alone without APGA compromising its own strong candidates who wud be more interested in their own fate than that of gej.That is, it wud be difficult for eg with the measures put in place by inec to tell some of d electorate there to make a strong distinction to 'vote pdp president,apga assembly.So 3 states out for PDP for a landslide,the southwest overall cannot be rigged,the northwest and northeast wud return landslides for Buhari,the north central also presents a difficult place to rig with d added problem that kwara and nassarawa are tilted to buhari.
So even with the extreme option that PDP hopes to rig the elections,it has just about the following states it can achieve that in:ebonyi,Enugu,abia,akwa ibom,cross river, bayelsa and delta,just 7 states.
So akpabio and his likes can throw up all the propaganda they can,but no matter how d elections are played out and no matter how its permuted,as long as elections hold,buhari cannot lose because GEJ just doesn't have the numbers.
