Senate President Godswill Akpabio has said more governors from the opposition may soon join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), following the defection of Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno.
Akpabio made this known on Saturday while speaking at a reception held to welcome Eno into the APC.
He mentioned that Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara and Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri might be the next to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the APC.
He praised Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for leaving the PDP and added that the APC had secured victory in Edo State.
Akpabio stated that he believes the entire South-South will rally behind President Bola Tinubu and the APC in the 2027 general election.
He said the people of Akwa Ibom are pleased with Eno’s defection and are fully behind him.
“Governor Umo Eno, after you, who knows Rivers State will tumble, after Rivers State, Bayelsa will join and of course, we won the election in Edo State,” Akpabio declared.
“Henceforth, come 2027, the South South will go one way, and the South South will vote for President Tinubu,” Akpabio stated.
It’s quite unfortunate that this country is growing from bad to worst and how can a country like Nigeria can we have one party system,
