In what appears to be a final seal to his proposed defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Senate Minority Leader, Godswill Akpabio, on Monday afternoon paid a courtesy call on the national leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in Abuja.
Recall that Akbabio had on Sunday visited President Muhammadu Buhari in London.
The former Akwa Ibom State governor is expected to defect from the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC on Thursday.
He had visited Tinubu at the latter’s home in Lagos on Saturday.
Akpabio met Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the State House on Wednesday last week.
The former governor had earlier denied holding any secret talks with the APC for a possible defection moves.
Unconfirmed reports have it that the senator is doing everything possible to avoid confrontations with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, hence his proposed defection.
