‘I Was In The Wrong Party’ – Akpabio Gives Fresh Reason For Dumping PDP For APC

Senate President Godswill Akpabio, has justified his decision to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Akpabio submitted that a progressive-minded person like him, should belong to a progressive family.

According to him, when APC approached him, he discovered that the PDP had been the wrong party for him all along, so he took an early exit and joined the progressives.

Naija News reports that Akpabio gave the fresh revelation on Friday while speaking at the inauguration of access roads to renewed hope cities and estates in Karsana West District of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.

He said, “A progressive-minded person like me should belong to a progressive family, therefore, when APC come to me, I discovered that was my group and that I was in the wrong party, called PDP. So, I took my exit early and joined the progressives.”
