The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has declared that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has no political competitor in the South-South region ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Akpabio made the declaration during the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential rally held in Benin City, Edo State, where party leaders, supporters and loyalists gathered to mobilise support for Tinubu’s re-election.
The Senate President expressed confidence in the APC’s growing political strength across the South-South, insisting that the region had resolved to deliver massive votes for the President in the forthcoming election.
According to him, all states in the South-South are now under the APC, adding that the region would not allow any other geopolitical zone to outperform it in terms of votes.
“2027 is over, all the states in the South-South are now APC. This is my zone and we resolve in this zone that no other zone in Nigeria will beat this zone. We will vote massively for President Tinubu come January 16, 2027.
“President Tinubu has no competitor in the whole of the South-South,” Akpabio declared.
He further stated that the region was united in its determination to support Tinubu’s re-election, stressing that the commitment would be demonstrated through votes on election day.
Akpabio, who hails from Akwa Ibom State, urged APC supporters in Edo State and other parts of the South-South to come out in large numbers on January 16, 2027, to vote for Tinubu and other candidates of the ruling party.
He maintained that the South-South was determined to make a significant contribution to the President’s electoral victory, expressing confidence in the APC’s ability to secure overwhelming support across the region.
