Akpabio: I Joined APC Because Buhari Is A Man Of Integrity
Akpabio: I Left PDP Because Nigeria Is At War & Joined APC To Help Rescue The Country
Ex-governor turned Senator, Godswill Akpabio today pledged to take the people of Akwa Ibom state and the South South to the centre for meaningful visibility.
The 55-year old politician formally defected from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to All Progressives Congress (APC) at a mega rally held at the Ikot Ekpene township stadium.
He told the huge crowd that he decided to join APC because he discovered that President Muhammadu Buhari “is a man of integrity and a nationalist’’.
Akpabio said that he decided to join a party that would sweep away poverty and impunity.
He said that he joined APC to help salvage the country.
“The country is at war and all the hands must be on deck to salvage the situation and not to aggravate it.
“As keepers of national emergency, everyone should put heads together. I decided to join to emancipate the people and provide succour for the people.’’
Akpabio said that the PDP of today has no vision and the leadership is replete with arrogance.

Honestly I don’t know why Thunder can’t just strike some people… after another 4 years the same people jumping from one party to another will still go back to the opposite party and tell the general public that they just discovered one stupid reason to join another party.

You joined APC because you want them to shield you from prosecution by EFCC for the money you embezzled.

These politicians firmly believe that the vast majority of Nigerians are unreasonable and cannot see why a particular defector is defecting. This applies to all defectors

Integrity my foot, who are you deceiving, is it now that their chasing you upon and down that you discover his integrity, well you can use the broom they have given to you to sweep the billions under the carpet. everyday is for the thief but one day is for the owner, the world is watching you people and integrity, you people had scattered the umbrella that it can not shield sun or even rain again, now the broom that is meant to sweep away evil things or dirty is now instrument of sweeping billions under the carpet or rug, God is watching and judgement day is coming, a day of accountability.

You guys are blaming Buhari for anything that goes wrong in Nigeria. Can you see yourself now? These are the sets of people you are trying to replace Buhari with. Can you even boast of one politician with integrity from either South West, South East or South South who can at least campaign in order to wrestle power from Buhari?. None! If you prefer someone like Akpabio, you might as well let Buhari be. I’m not saying this because I want Buhari to remain in power for ever but have observed ourselves first?. People like Akpabio are the main cause of our problems in Nigeria.
