Senate Minority Leader and former governor of Akwa Ibom State Godswill Akpabio has said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will produce the governor in 2019.

Akpabio said: “When I came to you in 2006, I told you Godswill should be done and you the people of Akwa Ibom agreed with me and Godswill was done. In 2011, I said Godswill should be done again, you agreed with me and it was done. In 2015 I pleaded with you to allow Godswill to be done again and again, you all made it happen. I will come back to you in 2019 and demand that Godswill should be done again, and again and again and I know it will happen”
He spoke on the All Progressive Congress (APC) over its loss at the Supreme Court, saying that the party demanded judgment, instead of justice, which is basic rights of citizens.
While lauding the Supreme Court for transparency, justice and fairness, he said the court demonstrated boldness in its push for the independence of the judiciary. He also commended President Muhammadu Buhari for providing the Supreme Court a conducive judicial atmosphere for the discharge of its duties.
“I also acknowledge the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Gen. Buhari, for not meddling with or interfering in the Supreme Court judgment which has been the most transparent in recent times”, he said.
Akpabio said the turbulent days of political warfare in Akwa Ibom State had been gone and urged the people of Ikot Ekpene senatorial district to support the government of Emmanuel to ensure continuity with the uncommon transformation of Akwa Ibom State.
