Senate President Godswill Akpabio has unveiled the All Progressives Congress’s (APC) ambitious plan to dominate the South-South geopolitical zone in the 2027 general elections.
Currently, the APC governs Edo and Cross River states, while the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) controls Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Bayelsa, and Delta. Akpabio made this declaration during a meeting with Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, at his residence in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
Akpabio emphasized the strategic importance of aligning the South-South region with the ruling party, citing his defection to the APC to increase the region’s influence in national politics. He expressed confidence in the APC’s ability to expand its control in the region, driven by favourable political dynamics and plans to drive development across the South-South.
