The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio has said that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will win the 2027 presidential election in South South.
Akpabio stated this when he hosted the leaders of the South South All Progressives Congress (APC) led by Chief Victor Giadom in his office.
According to Akpabio, there is no way the South South region will have a Senate President and not do well in the coming elections.
“There is no way we can’t give a resounding victory to Tinubu in 2027,” Akpabio said while highlighting areas their party in the South South need to Improve upon.
“For us to have won the presidential election in Rivers state where the chairman, Victor Giadom comes from, shows clearly that things are bound to happen,” Akpabio said, adding that, “in Edo state, we will ensure we take back what belongs to us.”
Akpabio, who said the visit by the South South leaders was timely, added that he will work with the party to ensure that APC wins more states in the South South regions in subsequent elections.
“There is no way we will have a Senate President and the South South will not be APC.
“For us Senators from the South South, we will give the president our total support because our legislative agenda is the country before party, region and religion.
“From North East, North West, North Central, South West and the entirety of the regions, your son is getting the support.
“South South roads, we will ensure that the issue of dilapidated roads comes to an end. We will ensure the people feel the impact. Today, people are complaining in certain areas because of the removal of the fuel subsidy which is necessary.
“Debt servicing has now been reduced to about 35 percent. This means, more money will go into capital projects.
“By 2024, Nigerians will see something good from the Tinubu administration. He did it in Lagos and they are having over N50 billion monthly revenue and Nigeria will benefit from his pragmatic leadership,” Akpabio added.
Speaking earlier, the leader of delegation who is also the deputy national chairman South South of the APC, Chief Victor Giadom said they came to celebrate with Akpabio for his milestone, winning the Senatorial Election, the office of the Senate President and for emerging a leader at the international parliament.
