Senate President Godswill Akpabio has said that more governors from opposition parties will soon defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He made this known in his goodwill remarks during the launch of a book titled Ten Years of Impactful Leadership of the APC Administration in Nigeria, authored by Governor Hope Uzodimma. The event also featured President Bola Tinubu commissioning some projects.
Currently, the APC controls 23 of the 36 states. Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno were the most recent defectors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC.
In a statement released by his Special Assistant on Media, Jackson Udom, Akpabio said: “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.
“The students, farmers and businessmen are all speaking on the various reforms you have brought into governance, which are now yielding results, in the overall interest and benefit of the people.”
The statement added that while critics may see their remarks as mere endorsement, it is the actual beneficiaries who continue to speak about the impact of the reforms.
