Senate President Godswill Akpabio has expressed strong optimism about the growing political dominance of the All Progressives Congress (APC), declaring that the party is on track to secure control across all states in Nigeria ahead of the next general elections.
Speaking during an interview from 6:12 on SYMFONI TV, Akpabio highlighted what he described as the expanding influence of the ruling party, particularly among state governors. His remarks were made in the context of the APC National Convention, where party leaders gathered to strategize and consolidate their political strength.
During the interview, Akpabio confidently stated, “We are now 32 governors and still growing. By election day, we may have 36 over 36.” The Senate President’s comment underscores the APC’s ambition to achieve a clean sweep of governorship positions nationwide, signaling a bold projection of electoral success.
Akpabio’s statement reflects the party’s ongoing efforts to attract more political actors into its fold, including governors and key stakeholders from opposition parties. Analysts say such declarations are part of a broader strategy to project strength and influence, particularly as political alignments continue to shift ahead of upcoming elections.
