Senate President Godswill Akpabio has announced that several governors from opposition parties are nearing a decision to join the ruling party, led by President Bola Tinubu. Akpabio made this statement during the launch of a book titled “Ten Years Of Impactful Leadership of The APC Administration In Nigeria,” written by Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, and the commissioning of projects by President Tinubu in Owerri.
According to Akpabio, President Tinubu’s reforms over the last two years have yielded positive outcomes, which are now being recognized by various segments of the population, including students, farmers, and businessmen. He noted that the beneficiaries of these reforms are testifying to their impact, which is a testament to the effectiveness of the president’s policies.
Akpabio also commended Governor Uzodimma for documenting the history of the APC administration in his book, stating that it is essential to tell one’s story to avoid misrepresentation by others. He praised the quality of work done by the governor in Imo State, which he believes has benefited the people of the state.
The Senate President, who was the governor of Akwa Ibom State 18 years ago, highlighted his own progressive track record, citing the projects he executed during his tenure. Akpabio’s statement suggests that President Tinubu’s leadership is attracting support from across the political spectrum, with more opposition governors potentially joining the ruling party.
The development comes as President Tinubu continues to implement his policies and reforms, aimed at driving development and progress in Nigeria. The anticipated defection of opposition governors to the ruling party could significantly impact the country’s political landscape, potentially altering the balance of power and influencing future elections.
As the political landscape in Nigeria continues to evolve, the actions of President Tinubu and the ruling party are being closely watched by citizens, opposition parties, and international observers. The potential influx of new members from opposition parties could further consolidate the ruling party’s position, paving the way for potentially significant political shifts in the country.
