Senate President Godswill Akpabio has highlighted the growing influence of the All Progressives Congress (APC) under President Bola Tinubu, noting that the party currently governs 32 states and expects this number to rise ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking on Friday at the APC 8th national and elective convention in Abuja, Akpabio commended the party’s reforms and the progress being made despite economic challenges.
He stated: “We are proud of these reforms. You are bringing dignity to Nigeria. Nigeria is returning to the world stage.
For members of our great party from all states in the country, we are now 32 governors, and the number is growing. By election day, we may have more. I congratulate you all.”
Akpabio also emphasized the legislature’s support for Tinubu’s agenda, saying: “When the House is in order, when the National Assembly is aligned, and when everyone is committed to your Renewed Hope agenda, Nigeria will see progress.”
On security concerns, he reassured Nigerians of the administration’s commitment: “For those concerned about security today, I want to assure you that we are on course.
With the support of Nigerians, we shall overcome these challenges. We are going to bring peace to Nigeria. We are going to restore peace to the APC family.”
