2027: More opposition governors will defect to APC — Akpabio

Nigeria Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, had assured President Bola Tinubu that more governors from opposition parties are getting ready to defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)

Akpabio disclosed this in his goodwill message at the launch of a book, ‘Ten Years Of Impactful Leadership of The APC Administration In Nigeria’, written by Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, and the commissioning of projects by President Bola Tinubu in Owerri.

“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 that are ready to be received by you,” Akpabio said.

He further said Nigerians have started seeing positive impact of Tinubu’s reforms.

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

“I believe strongly in development and progress. I thank Governor Uzodimma for deciding to put history in writing in his Ten Years of Impactful Leadership of the APC Administration in Nigeria. If you don’t tell your story, others will tell it for you. Progressiveness is not in words, it is in action. The quality of works done by the governor is of high quality and the people of Imo State must be very, very excited,” he said.
