Former Governor of Akwa-Ibom state and current senate minority representing Akwa Ibom North West, Godswill Akpabio has denied reports that he intends to contest for the presidency in 2019.

In a statement made available to us via his media aide, Anietie Ekong, the politician also distanced himself from a poster spreading around social media requesting that Nigerians vote for him in 2019.

The statement read;

"We wish to state categorically that Senator Akpabio has no ambition of contesting for the Presidency in 2019 and is not behind such campaigns. It is the handiwork of mischief makers,” said the statement which was released on Wednesday.

It is instructive that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which he belongs to has zoned the Presidency to the North by 2019. The South-South has had its shot at the Presidency through Dr Goodluck Jonathan who handed over to President Muhammadu Buhari barely one year ago.

It is politically impracticable in the present Nigeria to expect another South-South man to aspire to succeed President Buhari."

Storrryy....... Nigerian politicians are the worst set of liars

Akpabio will make a good vice presidential candidate. His performance in Akwa-Ibom is nationally acknowledged. I wish he could be the running mate to either Kwankwaso or Atiku if the PDP could lure one of them back to the party. That joint ticket would retire Buhari back to Daura. But the PDP needs to be fair to the Ibos, who have been stoically loyal to the party.

Even if he doesn't have opponent from apc, Akpabio can never win.

Beta, because we no want U.

lol. who even wants you to? you would not get more than ur state votes...no jokes

Akpabio vice president fit you most not president

U might be spending some reasonable time in prison you then anyway. So nobody cares if u won to run or not. The war on corruption will be raging in ur home by then. The true identity of the owner of Lekki Gardens must've been unearthed long b4 then.

.

Good, cuz everybody knows u stand no chance to win the presidential election

What kind of inferior thinking is this? Why the heck should he be a running mate to (Atiku or Kwankwanso) people he has way better records than? Why can't they be his running mate? And please those two you mentioned are from the APC, why the heck do you have dreams of importing them to PDP.

It was this same stupid mind set that prevented the likes of Fashola from contesting last times, now the man is addressed as the minister of darkness.


AKPABIO is a very capable hand for 2019. Buhari has failed already, so even a LG Chairman can replace.

Abeg who ask am?

How am I sure

If not for the return of GEJ in 2019, I would have thrown my support behind you. But, don't worry sir, some day we will make you President. Soon, and very soon, you'll be moving to Aso Rock.

Political gimmicks in display here. The young man is obviously testing the waters with this propaganda but he will make a good President though.

Don't mind that APC fulani lover. After they have gone to Canaan, and found there is nothing there but weeds and thorns, they want to facilitate a soft landing in the PDP. Well sorry, Trump's victory has put the final nail in the coffin of PDP socialist wing. Atiku and Kwankaso should enjoy the stew they helped make, afterall it's their own recipe.

No today? Welcome to Nigeria where politicians will never make their intentions known until the eleventh hour even though it is obvious. Let's get to 2019 first then we know.

Okay.. We dun hear. Pls check my signature

Only Buhari's mess will finish u if u try contest in 2019..better respect ur village..

Akpabio himself said this, " It is instructive that the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) which he belongs to has zoned the
Presidency to the North by 2019. The South-
South has had its shot at the Presidency through
Dr Goodluck Jonathan who handed over to
President Muhammadu Buhari barely one year
ago.
It is politically impracticable in the present
Nigeria to expect another South-South man to
aspire to succeed President Buhari.". Akpabio is a capable hand no doubt, but the current political dynamics do no favour a Southern presidential candidate. If he could emerge as the running mate to a northern candidate, he could vie for the office when his principal leaves.

akpabio, this is nt the race where u have ur palmi achivements as a gov that earns the highest allocation for almost the 3rd smallest populated state. This is neither a race for opening that ur wide aduda mouth and speaking frm ur tommy

Join Kowa and you have my vote!

APC = PDP
