The Senate President Godswill Akpabio has said that the All Progressives Congress will produce a governor in Akwa Ibom State in 2027.
Recall that the ruling APC has made unfruitful attempts to clinch the seat of power in the state to no avail.
Akpabio who was a former governor governed under the umbrella of the Peoples Democratic Party where he was got the name ‘unknown governor’.
“It will be an aberration for the number three citizen not to have a governor from the same party at the end of an election,” Mr Akpabio said on Friday at a meeting of the APC leaders in Uyo.
He disclosed that his current position as Senate President required compensation with the seat of governor.
“You know, wherever the Senate president is, that is where the party is.
“Is it possible that Nigeria will give Akwa Ibom the number three citizen and at the end of the election, it will not produce an APC governor,” Akpabio said.
