Buhari will win Akwa Ibom in 2019 – Akpabio, others assure
Former Akwa Ibom State Governor, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has assured that President Muhammadu Buhari will record massive victory in Akwa Ibom State in the 2019 presidential election.
Akpabio gave the assurance when alongside Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Senator Ita Enang, led a delegation from Akwa Ibom State All Progressives Congress (APC) on a courtesy visit to Buhari at the Presidential Villa on Monday.
He said: “From the calibre of persons you saw here today, the strength and character of the delegation, the capacities of the personalities you saw, it is clear that President Buhari will win Akwa Ibom State come 2019 general election.
“He will not only win, he will win with a landslide; I can predict that the first state in Nigeria to fall to the APC in 2019 presidential election will be Akwa Ibom State.
“Nobody can controvert it; I say so with authority because I have the backing of my people to pronounce it – victory for the APC and victory for Buhari come 2019 in Akwa Ibom State.”
While fielding questions from State House Correspondents, Akpabio said Akwa Ibom State would be the first state to fall for the APC in 2019.
“I believe strongly in the saying, “res ipsa loquitor”, the act speaks for itself,” he added.
He said that he was the governor of Akwa Ibom State for eight years, and could not remember one kilometre of road that was done by the Federal Government in Akwa Ibom State.
