Akpabio: Peace in Rivers Will Guarantee Tinubu’s Victory in South-south.
Akpabio attributed his optimism to what he described as the prevailing peace and unity among political leaders and stakeholders in the region, particularly in Rivers State, saying the atmosphere would strengthen the APC’s electoral fortunes.
The Senate president, according to a statement by his Media Office on Saturday evening, spoke on Saturday at the Rivers State Rainbow Coalition rally held at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt, where he urged the people of the South-south to support Tinubu’s re-election bid.
Addressing the gathering, Akpabio declared that the prevailing political harmony in Rivers State was the critical ingredient required to deliver the state and the entire region to the APC in 2027.
“Mr President, the ingredient needed in this zone, particularly Rivers State, to return you to the Villa on January 16, 2027, is here, and that is peace. “There is total peace in Rivers State, and it is based on that peace and unity among all stakeholders and political leaders on display today from the zone that Mr President would be delivered,” he said. Akpabio recalled that Rivers was the only state in the South-south where the APC secured victory in the 2023 presidential election, insisting that the party could repeat the feat on a larger scale in 2027. He told Tinubu that the state had demonstrated its electoral strength in the last general election, adding that its support for the president would be sustained.
