Senate President Godswill Akpabio has revealed that several governors from opposition parties are preparing to defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to align with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
While speaking on Tuesday at the launch of Governor Hope Uzodimma’s book, “Ten Years of Impactful Leadership of the APC Administration in Nigeria”, in Owerri, Imo State, Akpabio commended Tinubu’s reforms and their growing impact across the nation.
He stated: “Mr. President, with what you have done in the last two years, get ready to receive more governors from the opposition parties. As I speak, there are several governors in Nigeria today ready to be received by you.”
Akpabio highlighted that Nigerians, including students, farmers, and business owners, are beginning to feel the benefits of Tinubu’s policies, adding that the reforms are already yielding positive results.
He noted: “If we say it, they will accuse us of rubber-stamping your achievements, but the beneficiaries are the ones speaking about what you have done.”
The Senate President also commended Governor Uzodimma for documenting the APC’s decade-long achievements, emphasizing the importance of recording history.
“If you don’t tell your story, others will tell it for you. Progressiveness is not in words; it is in action,” Akpabio remarked, praising Uzodimma’s high-quality projects and their impact on the people of Imo State.
Reflecting on his tenure as Akwa Ibom State governor 18 years ago, Akpabio stated that his developmental projects already demonstrated his progressive approach to governance, further underscoring his belief in action-driven leadership.
