The Presidency is showcasing Akpabio as its major catch from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) following massive defections from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in recent weeks, which had seen the Senate President, the Governors of Benue, Kwara and Sokoto as well as 14 Senators and 32 House of Representatives members dump the APC.
Presidential Liaison to the National Assembly, Senator Ita Enang had celebrated Akpabio’s defection to the APC on the social media, when he declared that the former Governor of Akwa-Ibom state would be unveiled on August 9.
