‘No other zone will beat the South-South in Tinubu’s votes’ — Akpabio
Senate President Godswill Akpabio has declared that the South-South region will deliver massive votes for President Bola Tinubu in the January 16, 2027 presidential election, insisting that no other geopolitical zone will outperform it.
Akpabio made the declaration on Thursday during the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally in Edo State.
Addressing party supporters, the Senate President boasted that all six states in the South-South had now come under the APC, describing the political development as a major advantage for the ruling party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“2027 is over, all the states in the South-South are now APC. This is my zone and we have resolved in this zone that no other zone in Nigeria will beat this zone. We will vote massively for President Tinubu come January 16, 2027,” he said.
Akpabio further claimed that Tinubu had no political competitor across the South-South region, expressing confidence that the President would receive overwhelming support from the zone.
“President Tinubu has no competitor in the whole of the South-South,” he added.
The Senate President’s remarks reflect the APC leadership’s confidence in its growing political presence across the region following the movement of governors and political stakeholders from opposition parties into the ruling party.
However, his projection remains a political claim ahead of the election, with the actual level of support for the candidates to be determined by voters at the polls.
