Akpabio: Jonathan Will Win 90% of the Votes across Nigeria

Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum (PDPGF) has said that President Goodluck Jonathan will win 90 per cent of the votes nationwide on March 28.


The chairman of the forum who is also Akwa Ibom State Governor, Godswill Akpabio said this while briefing state house correspondents after the governors met President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday.

He said “The meeting was just to take stock of the situation on ground and the report is very favourable. It looks like on the first ballot, we will win well over 90 per cent of the votes across Nigeria.

“Today, Nigerians are much more aware of what the PDP administration under President Jonathan has been doing.

“I want to commend not only the president but also members of the Federal Executive Council who have opened the eyes of Nigerians to know that so many things have been done in the different sectors of the economy.

“It was as if people did not know these things because the opposition took over and they kept saying PDP was doing nothing. Yet, in four years of the president’s tenure, he has achieved far more than any president had ever done in the history of our country.

“We are very proud of the achievements of the PDP, not just at the federal level but also at the different states.

“If you want to assess state-by-state, pick the opposition’s best APC state in Nigeria and compare it with the best state of the PDP, you will see that we tower above the opposition in all ramifications.

“The next election, particularly the election of March 28, it will be about performance and issues. Nigerians have since gone above the level of tribalism and ethnic or religion differences. God puts us together in this country and He knew that we are a multiplicity of religions and tribes.”
