VIDEO: I was in the wrong party called PDP — Akpabio

President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, on Friday said he had been in the “wrong party” during his time in the Peoples Democratic Party, maintaining that he found his political home after defecting to the All Progressives Congress.

Akpabio made the remarks during the inauguration of access roads to the Renewed Hope Cities and Estates in the Karsana District of the Federal Capital Territory to mark President Bola Tinubu’s third anniversary in office.

Responding to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, who had described him as an “uncommon performer” during his days in the PDP, Akpabio urged members of the APC National Working Committee to disregard the comment, saying it referred to a period before the APC was formed.

“Please ignore the comment of the honourable minister that I was an uncommon performer in PDP. He is not talking about PDP of today,” Akpabio said.

Explaining his political journey, the Senate President said he had already spent more than seven years as governor of Akwa Ibom State before the APC was founded in 2014.
