Akpabio Reveals First State Buhari Will Win

A former Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has
declared that President Muhammadu Buhari will win the presidential
election within three hours of voting.
The former Governor of Akwa Ibom State also claimed that the state
would be first Buhari will win on February 16.
The lawmaker, who spoke in an interview with journalists in Uyo,
was responding to a question on the possibility of violence in Akwa
Ibom during the election following his defection from the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP.
According to him, the people of the state have already decided who
they will vote, insisting that there is no battle ground in the state.
Akpabio said, “APC had taken over Akwa Ibom even before I joined
the party. By the time I decided to join APC, by the time I landed at
the airport, the whole airport was APC.
“The whole of the airport to the town was APC. The whole of the
plaza in Uyo was APC, the jubilation was infectious.
“Women and men were bringing their brooms from under their bed,
which means they had been hiding them because of me and they
were sweeping the roads.
“A distance of 20 minutes took us over two hours to cover because
of the jubilation. I was now saying that so all these people belong to
APC.
“When I asked them, they said, “Sir, after you left office, the
situation wasn’t the same again. We have moved to APC”. And I
asked them when, and they said since 2015.
“If you ask the APC headquarters, they will tell you that we have
over 300,000 card-carrying members who joined the party within six
weeks.
“When I hear that Akwa Ibom is going to be a battle-ground, I laugh
because there is no battle-ground in a state that has already shown
direction.
“I can confidently confirm to you that the first state President Buhari
will win within three hours of voting in Akwa Ibom.
“It is not because of me but because of the change that the Federal
Government has started. The reason I am being attacked is just
because I am a leader here and a lot of people came out boldly to
associate with APC when I joined, but the people have rejected PDP
before I declared for APC
