The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has claimed that a former Governor of Akwa Ibom, Godswill Akpabio deceived them regarding his visit to President Buhari in London.
The party said it was not aware that the Senate Minority Leader was going to London where he met with President Buhari on Sunday.
The PDP said the former governor of Akwa Ibom State told members of the party’s National Working Committee, NWC, that he was on his way to Germany.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan, was quoted by Punch to have stated this in Abuja on Monday.
He added the party was not aware of Akpabio’s planned defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress.
According to him, Akpabio could have had what he called “technical stopover” in London.
Ologbondiyan said, “He told us he was going to Germany and if he ended up in London, maybe, he had a technical stopover.
“The PDP has no issues with Akpabio whatsoever and the party will not respond to speculations of his readiness to defect. We have no notice of the said defection and all I can say now is that we will cross the bridge when we get there.”
