Godswill Akpabio, Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has boasted of his unwavering resolve to personally produce the next governor of his homeland,Akwa Ibom state for the All Progressives Congress, APC, come 2027.
The Senate henchman disclosed this on Friday at a meeting of APC leaders in Uyo ahead of the next governorship election in 2027.
Akpabio daringly declared: “It will be an aberration for the number three citizen not to have a governor from the same party at the end of an election.
“You know, wherever the Senate-President is, that is where the party is.
“Is it possible that Nigeria will give Akwa Ibom the number three citizen and at the end of the election, it will not produce an APC governor?”
Currently, the governor of the state is Pastor Umo Eno of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. He succeeded Emmanuel Udom after the 2023 general elections.
