2027 Will Be Seamless for Tinubu, Senate President Akpabio Assures at APC National Summit

 


The President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has assured President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of a smooth and uncontested re-election in 2027, unlike the stiff competition he faced during the 2023 general elections.

Akpabio made this statement on Thursday while leading the leadership of the National Assembly to pass a vote of confidence in President Tinubu at the All Progressives Congress (APC) national summit held at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

“If this president has done well, is it not us (the National Assembly) that will say so? If he has not done well, is it not us that will give him notice of impeachment? We are not giving him notice of impeachment; we are giving him notice that it was difficult for you in 2023, but in 2027, I see everything turning around — the number of states that are coming to join you,” Akpabio said.

Sharing a light moment, he added: “As I was leaving, one senator was dragging my dress today. He said, ‘Please take me there.’ I told him, ‘You can’t come now.’ He is a Labour senator, but I won’t mention his name.”

Earlier during the summit, the Progressives Governors’ Forum also passed a vote of confidence in President Tinubu, a decision that was unanimously adopted by the APC leadership.

The high-level event was attended by President Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas, APC governors, and other prominent party figures.
