Senate President Godswill Akpabio has revealed the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s strategy to secure control of all six states in Nigeria’s South-South geopolitical zone during the 2027 general elections.
Speaking through his Special Assistant on Media and Communication, Mr. Anietie Ekong, Akpabio expressed confidence in the APC’s ability to expand its influence across the region, citing favorable political conditions and developmental plans aimed at improving the lives of the people.
He described the recent election of Edo State Governor Okpebholo as a “divine mandate” and a harbinger of significant positive changes for the state under the APC leadership.
“Under the APC administration, many of us recognized the need to shift the political dynamics to ensure we effectively represent our people at the national level and contribute to the governance of the country,” Akpabio stated.
He further noted that current political trends and available indicators suggest the ruling party is well-positioned to bring additional states in the South-South under its control.
The Senate President reiterated the APC’s commitment to fostering development and ensuring the region benefits from the party’s policies and programs as it works to consolidate its political standing ahead of the next general elections.
