In Abuja on Friday, the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, asserted the enduring presence of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the South South region.
Optimistic about the party’s current achievements, he expressed confidence in its potential for further success in future elections within the area.
During a courtesy visit on Friday, Akpabio conveyed these sentiments while hosting the national executives of the APC from the South-South, led by the National Vice Chairman, Victor Giadom.
The President of the Senate highlighted the party’s notable performance in the zone during the recent general elections as a clear indication of its sustained influence.
He said, “We are steadily moving on, Cross Rivers State is 100% APC. Here and there, some people will emerge either in the Senate or the Reps and the House of Assembly but in the governorship and government, the state is totally APC.
“Akwa Ibom has the Senate President, so for you to have members of the House of Representatives it shows that things are about to happen.
“For you to have won the presidential election in Rivers State where the zonal chairman comes from, it means things are beginning to happen and even winning in 2019 the Bayelsa State except for.technical issues in the court shows clearly that the APC has come to stay in the entire South South.
“In Edo State, the APC governor took Government House into another party and so election is coming next year, as we expect the chairman to double his effort with all of us included in the campaign and ensure we get back what belongs to us.
“Your visit is timely and I believe strongly that working together with you, the APC can only be stronger in the South South region and infact won the zone.”
