Speaking at an endorsement rally in his honour by Ikot Ekpene senatorial district, Senate Minority Leader; Godswill Akpabio said the party platform on which he will contest for his second term ticket for Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District in 2019 will not matter much as he has to play down on the issue of party because any party under which he will contest the election would guarantee him victory.
“Don’t worry about election; election is all about voting. Today, you notice that I did not shout too much about party because you have endorsed Akpabio as an unopposed candidate. And this unopposed candidate cuts across all the political parties.
“Whether you call it CUPP – Coalition of United Political Parties or whether it is the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), no matter the political party, we are saying Let God’s will be done, again. For diverse tendency; for those who want to divide us, let God Almighty not allow them.” he said.
Akpabio listed out projects which he brought to his senatorial district in the past three years to include boreholes, market stalls in all the 10 local government areas of the district, 274 students on scholarship who he said received at least, N100,000 a year, and a major road linking the greater part of the senatorial district.
Governor Emmanuel who was also endorsed for a second term, thanked the people for the endorsement. He said the exercise was a show of appreciation, and promised he will not take it for granted.
