Godswill Akpabio, former governor of Akwa Ibom state, says his heart was with President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 election.
Akpabio, who served his two terms as governor under the PDP, was chairman of the PDP governors’ forum in 2015.
Speaking when he led elders from the state to President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday, Akpabio said Buhari would win the 2019 election.
The former governor, who was the senate minority leader, said there would be no be defection that will affect the chances of the APC in the forthcoming elections.
Akpabio boasted that Akwa Ibom will be the first state from the south-south that the APC will win in 2019.
He said what is left of the PDP in Akwa Ibom is a mere carcass as the body and soul of the party had joined the APC.
He added that over 266,000 new members had registered with the APC since he joined.
