As preparations intensify for the 2027 presidential and general elections, Senate President Godswill Akpabio has called on President Bola Tinubu to brace up for the influx of more opposition state governors into the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Akpabio revealed that several opposition governors were already concluding arrangements to defect to the APC, stressing that Nigerians had begun to recognize and appreciate the positive impacts of Tinubu’s administration.

He made these remarks in Owerri, Imo State, while delivering a goodwill message at the public presentation of Ten Years of Impactful Leadership of the APC Administration in Nigeria, a book authored by Governor Hope Uzodimma.

The occasion also featured the commissioning of projects by the President.

In a statement released by his Special Assistant on Media, Jackson Udom, Akpabio said: “Mr. President, with what you have done in the last two years, get ready to receive more governors from the opposition parties. As I speak, there are several governors in Nigeria today ready to be received by you.”

The Senate President emphasized that the reforms rolled out by the Tinubu government were already producing tangible results.

“The students, farmers, and businessmen are speaking on the various reforms you have brought into governance which are now in the overall interest of the people. If we say it, they will accuse us of rubber-stamping your achievements, but the beneficiaries are the ones testifying to what you have done.”

Akpabio also praised Governor Uzodimma for documenting the achievements of the APC over the last decade, stressing that progress should always be measured by concrete action rather than words.

“I believe strongly in development and progress. If you don’t tell your story, others will tell it for you. The quality of works done by the Governor is very high, and the people of Imo State must be very excited,” he said.

Looking back at his tenure as governor of Akwa Ibom State 18 years ago, Akpabio remarked that he had always been a progressive, pointing to projects executed under his leadership as evidence.

He congratulated Governor Uzodimma and the APC leadership for the strides recorded by the party within the last ten years.
