Akpabio attacks PDP again, gives reasons

A former Minority Leader of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has insisted
that the People Democratic Party, PDP, did nothing to improve the
welfare of Nigerians during its 16 years in power.

Akpabio, a former governor of Akwa Ibom State made the remark during
the official reception of members of PDP who defected to the All
Progressives Congress, APC, in Nsit Atai Local Government Area of the
state.

He stated that unlike the PDP, APC has Social Intervention programmes,
like N-Power, meeting the needs of the people.

The lawmaker also berated PDP members for destroying the campaign
billboards of APC members.

He said, "If you look outside this venue, you'll see the posters of
the outgoing governor, Udom Emmanuel, they are not torn. It shows that
APC is a peaceful party.

"While coming down here, along the Airport Road, you will notice that
the billboards of the APC are all torn. We are for peace, Nsit Atai is
for peace. Let me assure us all that they can only tear your posters
and billboards but they cannot tear your votes come 2019.

"Akwa Ibom people have benefited from the Federal Government through
employment, projects, and social intervention programmes like N-Power
and PDP did nothing for the state in 16 years.''
