lection night 2019 didn’t provide a story of the much- awaited PDP tsunami, but it was still a big night for the party in South East and South South regions of the country signaling the demise of APC, APGA and other parties in the zones.
The party members feared earlier on that APC’s incumbency foretold a night of gloom. But that did not happen. Chief Godswill Akpabio, a former governor advertised as godfather of Akwa Ibom politics lost in North West district. Emmanuel Uduaghan former
governor of Delta State lost in Delta South district; Victor Ndoma-Egba a former senate leader lost in Cross River Central senatorial district, while Andy Uba and his brother Chris Uba underperformed in the polls in Anambra South Constituency.
