Obsession with ending poverty is reason I joined APC – Akpabio

Senator Godswill Akpabio, who attended his first caucus meeting of the ruling party, has revealed the reason he dumped the PDP for the ruling party.

“I am joining the APC as a government to stabilize the government and to assist the government to create employment opportunities for Nigerians so that we can fight the twin brother to corruption, which is poverty. Poverty creates corruption and corruption deepens poverty, so we need to fight the two together. And that is one of the things I find attractive with the APC and believe me with my people in Akwa Ibom State, with my presence in the APC my people in South South have now seen the light and they say APC is the party to vote for come 2019.”
