More Opposition Governors Set to Join APC, Says Akpabio

 

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has disclosed that several governors from opposition parties are preparing to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

 

Akpabio made the revelation on Tuesday in Owerri, Imo State, while delivering a goodwill message at the launch of Ten Years of Impactful Leadership of the APC Administration in Nigeria, a book authored by Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma. The event also featured the commissioning of projects by President Bola Tinubu.

 

“Mr President, with what you have accomplished in the last two years, get ready to receive more governors from opposition parties,” Akpabio said. “As I speak, there are several governors in Nigeria today ready to join you.”

 

He added that Nigerians are beginning to recognise the positive outcomes of President Tinubu’s reforms. “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 of the people,” the Senate President said.

 

Akpabio commended Uzodimma for documenting his tenure, noting that progressivism is measured by actions, not words. “The quality of works done by the governor is of high standard, and the people of Imo State must be very proud,” he said.

 

The Senate President also reflected on his own tenure as Governor of Akwa Ibom State 18 years ago, saying his developmental strides aligned him with progressive politics. He congratulated Uzodimma and the APC national leadership for the party’s achievements over the past decade.
