SENATE President Godswill Akpabio on Wednesday lampooned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying he did not know that the party was still in existence.
Akpabio almost said the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) while trying to recognise members of the NWC of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) present at the event. Akpabio spoke at the inauguration of the full-scope development of Akinwumi Ajibola Street in the Gaduwa district of Abuja.
Almost committing the gaffe, Akpabio 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 has recently commended the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, for his efforts in the nation’s capital.
“The FCT now functions like a full state,” Akpabio said.
This was disclosed by the lawmaker on Tuesday 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, representing President Bola Tinubu at the commissioning, admitted that the FCT now has an active Head of Service, numerous Parastatals, Permanent Secretaries, Coordinators of Satellite town development and other agencies under the Wike-led administration.
