2015: PDP Will Win More States, Akpabio Boasts

Godswill AkpabioChairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum and Akwa Ibom state governor, Godswill Akpabio, has dismissed the story making the round that eight PDP governors were making moves to defect to an opposition party, saying it was untrue and instead claimed the party ‘will win more states in 205.’

Akpabio, who was speaking on the occasion of one year anniversary of the present National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP led by Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, said:

“I want to dispel the rumour making the round that eight governors from PDP move to defect, I have spoken with them and none of them is making such move, it is a lie. Rather we are going to surprise the party, we will win more states in 2015.”

Earlier in his remarks, the Chairman, Board of Trustees (BoT) of the PDP, Chief Tony Anenih represented by the BoT Secretary, Senator Walid Jibrin, said:  “Our party is not afraid at all of APC and I want to assure you that PDP will beat the merger party hands down.”
