Akpabio: My Defection Marks The End Of PDP In Niger Delta by meethumb: 7:49am On Aug 09, 2018 |
Former Senate Minority Leader, Obong Godswill Akpabio, has said his decision to decamp from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All People’s Congress (APC) was in national interest. This is even as he boasted that his exit will mark the end of the opposition party in the Niger Delta region. Akpabio, the former Governor of Akwa Ibom, stated this at a grand rally in Ikot Ekpene on Wednesday where he formerly declared for the APC. He said that the nationalist instinct in him also informed his decision at a time the nation needed peace to grapple with pressing challenges. “I decided to join the APC at this time because I am a nationalist. In times like this, everybody should support to bring peace to our dear nation; to stop the killings and ensure employment for our teeming youths. “With my declaration, uncommon change has come to Akwa Ibom. We believe that South-South cannot stand alone on its own. “We need to collaborate with others. I consulted. What I have done today is to take the people of the South-South to the centre. “Whatever I do is in the interest of of Akwa Ibom. I want to leave a legacy in the national interest. He also urged his former party to have what he called a reward system. “With my exit, this is the end of PDP in Niger Delta Delta’’, Senator Akpabio said.

Not only Niger Delta Naa the whole of Africa join sef Learn from Don Saraki that decamped 16 LGA Chairman's, 23 house of Assembly members, a serving governor and other heavy weights politician in Kwara State A man that singlehandedly buried APC in Kwara State Yet, he never claimed to deliver SW Unlike him, you're now a political orphan in your State You better fight for yourself and try coming back as a sinator next year rather than fighting a battle that is more stronger than your political career |
