Senate President Godswill Akpabio has expressed confidence that the South-South region will produce more votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election than any other geopolitical zone.
Titiansloaded reports that he made the declaration on Thursday at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential rally held in Benin City, Edo State, where party leaders and supporters gathered to mobilise support for Tinubu’s re-election.
Akpabio, who represents Akwa Ibom’s political interests in the region, claimed that all South-South states were now controlled by the APC.
He said the party had secured a strong political position across the zone ahead of the next presidential election.
The Senate President maintained that the region was united in its support for Tinubu and was determined to record the highest number of votes for him in 2027.
He described the president’s chances in the South-South as strong, insisting that no rival candidate posed a serious challenge to Tinubu’s political standing in the region.
Akpabio called on residents of Edo and other South-South states to turn out in large numbers on January 16, 2027, to vote for Tinubu and all APC candidates.
He said the region was determined to prove its political strength at the ballot box and ensure that no other zone recorded a better result for the president.
