Akpabio the former governor of Akwa ibom state has on Sunday morning denied rumours that he has decided to step aside from the race
He and other presidential hopefuls from the APC attended a closed door meeting with president Muhammad Buhari last night in a move to find a consensus candidate.
The meeting ended with the president eventually bowing to support southern candidate.
Dear APC National Delegates, please disregard the wicked lies making the rounds that I, your choice, for the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2023, has withdrawn from the race. I have not withdrawn from the race because I know you are solidly behind my aspiration. I will not withdraw because I have your support. Together, we will triumph and I will emerge the presidential candidate of our great party and we will march together to win the presidential election. I am in the race with your patriotic support to win. Thanks and God bless you all.
#Godswill Akpabio 2023.
Insha Allah
