Statements by Senate President Godswill Akpabio

Overview

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has made several public statements regarding governance and political strategy in Nigeria.

In Osogbo, Akpabio addressed the upcoming Osun State governorship election, advising the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, to utilize federal allocations effectively to improve infrastructure and living conditions. He emphasized the need for accountability and urged voters to prioritize development and security.

Later, in Uyo, Akpabio shifted focus to national politics, expressing confidence in President Bola Tinubu’s prospects for re-election in 2027. He credited the administration with economic re-engineering and highlighted the successes of the 10th National Assembly, specifically citing the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) and the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFund) as essential for national growth.

As the 2027 general elections approach, Akpabio has reiterated his confidence in the current administration, stating that the government possesses significant achievements in the economy, security, and agriculture to present to voters. This comes as the APC intensifies political mobilization, including efforts by National Chairman Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda to seek support in Kano and the endorsement of Senator Abdulaziz Yari to lead President Tinubu’s re-election campaign.
