Senate President Godswill Akpabio has expressed confidence that Rivers State will support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027, citing improved peace and cooperation among political leaders in the state.
Akpabio made the remarks on Saturday at the Rivers State Rainbow Coalition rally at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt.
According to a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Jackson Udom, the Senate president said political unity in Rivers had created favourable conditions for the All Progressives Congress to mobilise support for Tinubu.
“The ingredient needed in this zone, particularly Rivers State, to return you to the Villa on January 16, 2027, is peace. There is total peace in Rivers State, and with the unity among political leaders and stakeholders, Mr President will be delivered,” Akpabio said.
He also predicted support for Tinubu across the South-South region, pointing to Rivers as the only state in the zone that voted for the APC in the 2023 presidential election.
Akpabio said he expected Rivers voters to back the president again in 2027.
