Akwa Ibom will give Jonathan 100% votes – Akpabio

The governor of Akwa Ibom State, Chief Godswill Akpabio has promised the national leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP that his state would vote the party 100 per cent in the forthcoming elections.

Akpabio made the promise while addressing the PDP presidential campaign in in Uyo on Friday, assuring President Goodluck Jonathan of his reelection no matter the amount of propaganda against him by the opposition.

“In Akwa Ibom, we will give you 1.67 million votes as valentine gift. Nigeria will not go backward. In the midst of distraction, you have done well in human empowerment, transportation, education and agriculture.

“You have proved that you read to Ph.D level by your action. Education matters”, Akpabio said.

Also speaking at the rally, the South-South Coordinator of the PDP presidential campaign organisation, Gov. Liyel Imoke of Cross River, said Jonathan administration had moved Nigeria forward.

Imoke stated that PDP governors in the South-South zone had performed creditably well and would deliver PDP in the coming elections, assuring the president that the zone will vote massively for him.

On his part, Dr Amadu Ali, the Director-General, PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, called on Akwa Ibom people to drive away any party that was not PDP.

“PDP has done very well. Goodluck has refurbished the moribund railway and undertaken educational reforms,” Ali said, urging the people of the state to keep faith with PDP in order to benefit from agriculture that would be the target of revenue generation for the next administration.
