2027: Akpabio Predicts Victory For Tinubu In South South Region

President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio has predicted total victory for President Bola Tinubu and all candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the South South geo-political zone.

Akpabio stated this yesterday in his remarks at the Rivers State Rainbow Coalition rally held inside the mainbowl of the Adokie Amasiemeka Stadium, in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.

Akpabio said, “Mr President, the ingredient needed in this zone, particularly Rivers State to return you to the Villa on the 16th of January, 2027 is here and that is Peace.

“There is total peace in Rivers State and it’s based on that peace and unity among all stakeholders and political leaders in display today from the zone that Mr President would be delivered.”

“Rivers people are not new to elections and voting. They did it in 2023 as the only state that APC won in the South South.

“I want to thank you for producing Nyesom Wike who is doing wonders in the FCT. We have never seen such level of development before. Mr President is a man who knows how to put square pegs in square holes.”

Akpabio said Rivers people and indeed all Nigerians had reasons to vote for President Tinubu for several reasons. “For the students of Rivers State, over one hundred thousand of you have benefitted from the Students Loan Fund, the educational funds for indigent students and those from less priviledged families who would not have gone to school.

“Mr President you met a very wobly economy. You were able to move our foreign reserves from just $4.5 billion to over $50 billion.
