‘Let PDP Fade Away’ – Akpabio’s Comment To Wike Stirs Debate

SENATE President Godswill Akpabio on Wednesday lampooned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying he did not know that the party was still existing.

Akpabio almost mentioned the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) when trying to identify members of the NWC of the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) who were present at the occasion. Akpabio spoke at the inauguration of the full-scope development of Akinwumi Ajibola Street in the Gaduwa district of Abuja.

Akpabio almost committed the gaffe when he said the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike should stop confusing people and allow PDP to die.

“I didn’t know PDP still exists. “Wike stop confusing us, if a party has died let it die,” the Senate President said.

Meanwhile, Akpabio recently praised the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, for his work in the nation’s capital.

“The FCT is now being treated like a full state,” Akpabio said.

This was disclosed by the lawmaker yesterday when he commissioned the newly constructed Gomani-Dafa-Yangoji roads in the Kwali Area Council to mark Tinubu’s third anniversary as president, it was reported.

Akpabio, who represented President Bola Tinubu at the commissioning, said the FCT now has an active Head of Service, a lot of Parastatals, Permanent Secretaries, Coordinators of Satellite town development and other agencies under the Wike administration.
