Senate Minority leader, Godwsill Akpabio has addressed media reports linking him to the 2019 Presidential race.
Addressing the report, a statement issued by Anietie Ekong, Akpabio's media aide to SUN NEWSPAPER read, “It is instructive that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which he (Akpabio) 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. And it is politically impracticable in the present Nigeria to expect another South- South man to aspire to succeed President Buhari. He should not be distracted by a phantom campaign as such ambition only exist in the imagination of the mischief-makers.”
