Okpebholo, who noted that the South-South had always spoken with one voice during critical moments, added that the zone was gradually going back to its foundation of integrated politics.

He urged the remaining two governors in the zone to come on board the APC ship so that the South-South would be united and speak with one voice.

 

His counterparts from Delta, Akwa Ibom and Cross River States also spoke in like manner.

 

APC’s acting national chairman, Alhaji Ali Bukar Dalori, who said he was performing his first official duty since he assumed office penultimate Friday, called for unity of purpose.

 

Dalori reiterated that the South-South remained strategic to the nation’s development, hence the need for the zone to be fully integrated into the party at the centre.

 

Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, who doubles as the APC leader in the zone, said  the South-South geopolitical zone “is the heartbeat of the nation’s economy.”

 

“South-South is the chicken, if you like, that lays the golden eggs. If we are the chicken that lays the golden eggs, we equally have the right to determine who shares the golden eggs that come from the south-South.

 

“Ahead of 2027, the South-South is speaking with one voice that we are with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu united. This is our mandate in the South-South”, Senator Akpabio reiterated.

 

The communique containing the resolutions was read by Chief Victor Giadom, APC national vice chairman, South-South, and the motion for its adoption was moved by the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Professor Julius Ihonvbere, and seconded by the senator representing Edo North Senatorial District, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, with the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio presiding.
