Akwa Ibom State Governor, Mr. Godswill Akpabio, said duriing the PDP presidential rally in Akwa ibom that President Goodluck Jonathan would get at least 1.6 million votes in the February 14 election.

Akpabio while addressing the crowd said,‎
"Mr. President, 1.6 million Akwa Ibom votes await you on February 14. We don't want a government that will only build prisons. We want a government that will build schools,"

President Jonathan also said while addressing the large crowd of supporters, that PDP governors had performed better than their All Progressives Congress counterparts.

He said,
"We give our governors that freedom and freewill to do what is right for the people because they were voted for by their people. We don't dictate who gets contracts from our governors; we don't dictate who gets appointments from our governors.
"Our governors govern their state with the help of indigenes of the state and make sure that the resources of the state are used judiciously to help the state. We don't ask them to bring resources to us in Abuja. They spend the state funds in the state to develop the state. That is why PDP states are doing very well.
"All PDP states have state-owned universities. There are some states that don't have state-owned universities and they will tell you they are changing. Changing to what? I don't know where the change is going."
