A former Senate Minority Leader,
Senator Godswill Akpabio has pointed out why he defected from
the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Akpabio, a former governor of
Akwa Ibom said he defected to APC because he discovered that the former ruling
party was about to sink.
Speaking in Ikot Ekpene area of
the state, during the flag-off of the entrepreneurship/agricultural
disbursement of cash grants to his constituents in conjunction with the Small
and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria, SMEDAN, Akpabio described
the PDP has a sinking ship.
Akpabio, who is representing Akwa
Ibom North West Senatorial District of Akwa Ibom State, said: ‘’You gave me the
ticket in 2015 to represent you on the platform of PDP. When I saw that PDP was
about to sink, I left for APC. And I can assure you that victory is sure in APC
and I thank APC for giving me the ticket unopposed.
‘’During the 18 years of PDP, we
didn’t have anything more than the Ministers and Ambassadors, but President
Muhammadu Buhari has given us so many things. Works have begun on Ikot
Ekpene-Calabar Road, the Ikot Ekpene-Aba road will be dualised and it will be
included in the 2019 budget. The Oron-Calabar Road and bridges will be done.
You can see why I went to APC.
‘’I want you to use the money to
start a business. We will monitor it but we are not going to ask you to repay
it.’’
