The incumbent governor of Akwa-Ibom, Governor Godswill
Akpabio has stated that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will win over
90% of the votes cast across the country in the forthcoming 2015
presidential election.
Speaking to the media in Abuja, Governor Akpabio said that, having taken stock of preparations for the forthcoming general elections, it has become clear that the Peoples Democratic Party would win the March 28 Presidential election on the first ballot.
He boasted that the party’s candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan,
would win over 90 percent of the votes cast across the country.
In his words: “The meeting was just to take stock of the situation on ground and the report is very favourable. It looks like on the first ballot, we will win well over 90 percent of the votes across Nigeria.”
The governor said in the four years of Jonathan’s administration, the President had performed better than any President in the history of the country.
He said, “Today, Nigerians are much more aware of what the PDP administration under President Goodluck Jonathan has been doing.
“I want to commend not only the President but also members of the Federal Executive Council who have opened the eyes of Nigerians to know that so many things have been done in the different sectors of the economy.
“It was as if people did not know these things because the opposition took over and they kept saying PDP was doing nothing. Yet, in four years of the President’s tenure, he has achieved far more than any President had ever done in the history of our country.
“We are very proud of the achievements of the PDP, not just at the federal level but also at the different states.
“If you want to assess state-by-state, pick the opposition’s best APC state in Nigeria and compare it with the best state of the PDP, you will see that we tower above the opposition in all ramifications.
“The next election, particularly the election of March 28 will be about performance and issues.
Nigerians have since gone above the level of tribalism and ethnic or religion differences. God put us together in this country and He knew that we are a multiplicity of religions and tribes.”
Akpabio, who is the chairman of the PDP Governors Forum, spoke at the end of a marathon meting President Jonathan had with PDP governors and governorship candidates at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, yesterday, March 2. He concluded that it was clear that the opposition was already in dismay ahead of the elections.
It would be recalled that Governor Godswill Akpabio, earlier revealed that the PDP Governors supported President Jonathan to contest a for second term in the 2015 election so as to continue his good works.
