False.
EXPLANATION:
Conventionally, we show current moving from a point of higher potential to lower potential. Electrons move in the opposite direction. At the positive terminal of a source of e.m.f, (which is at a higher potential) a region of concentration of positive charges is created while a concentration of negative charges is created ( usually via chemical processes ) at the negative terminal. The electrons get repulsed by the similar negative charge and are attracted towards the positive terminal (which has a positive charge concentration). Therefore, electrons move from a region of lower potential to a region of higher potential, not the opposite.
