Senator Godswill Akpabio has hit out at his former party; the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), referring to the party as a ‘sinking party’.

Akpabio who dumped PDP for the All Progressives Party (APC) has eventually broken his silence why he left the party that made him the governor of Akwa Ibom State as well as a seating Senator at the Upper Chamber…

“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.”
