2027: NIGERIANS WILL RE-ELECT TINUBU OVER APC ACHIEVEMENTS – AKPABIO
President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has said the All Progressives Congress, APC, has enough achievements to campaign on ahead of the 2027 general elections and will re-elect President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term.
Akpabio stated this on Monday while receiving members of the Senate Committee on Tertiary Institutions, TETFund and NELFUND led by its Chairman, Senator Dandutse Mohammed, at his residence in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
According to a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Jackson Udom, Akpabio said the Tinubu administration had turned around the economy in the last three years.
“The current President has done a lot for Nigerians. He met an economy in shambles. When he came in, 27 states could not pay salaries and pensions but today, the story has changed because of his reengineering and thinking out of the box,” he said.
“In 2027 Nigerians will separate the shafts from the grains and re-elect President Tinubu for a second term in office.
“We have a President who thinks outside the box, bringing about innovation. We will have something to tell Nigerians about the unprecedented achievements of Mr President at the campaign grounds.
“Someone who is challenging him cannot even tell us what he did when he was governor. I can tell you what I did when I was the governor of my state. We will tell them a lot.”
According to him, “Those in the opposition know too well, the achievements of this government in the area of the economy, agriculture, security, education and fiscal policy, but because they are in the opposition, they won’t say it.”
Speaking on the 10th Senate, Akpabio noted: “The 10th Senate under my leadership, has made giant strides and we are very proud of it. We will continue to collaborate with the Executive arm of government to achieve more for Nigerians.
“Even in this period of our annual vacation, you are here in Uyo doing your job. We don’t need to listen to the social media because it is garbage in, garbage out.”
He assured some of his colleagues who will not be returning to the 11th Senate that their loyalty to the party and the President will not go unappreciated, and urged them to continue to give their best to the progress of the party and the success of the administration.
Earlier, Senator Mohammed disclosed that the visit was to pay homage to the Senate President and carry out oversight.
“We are here today for a very important constitutional responsibility and to pay homage to our leader, the Senate President of the Republic of Nigeria. Under your leadership, we have enacted the law that is benefiting the Nigerian masses,” he said.
“Nigerian parents are happy because of NELFUND and TETFund. We are in Akwa Ibom State on sensitization and oversight on all of the infrastructures executed by TETFund.
“On behalf of my colleagues, I want to sincerely appreciate your support. This law is fundamental to the success story of the development of Nigeria, because education is key to success.”
