Senate President Godswill Akpabio has expressed optimism that the tally of 32 state governors held by the All Progressives Congress (APC) under President Bola Tinubu’s leadership will increase before the 2027 general elections.
He made this known in Abuja on Friday while speaking at the ruling party’s 8th national convention.
He also assured the President that the ruling party would maintain its control over the National Assembly.
Addressing the gathering, Akpabio said: “For members of our great party from all states in the country, we now have 32 governors, and the number is growing. By election day, we may have more. I congratulate you all.
“And for those of us in the legislature, Mr President, we are sure of our control over all that goes through. Because when the House is in order, when the National Assembly is aligned, and when everyone is committed to your Renewed Hope agenda, Nigeria will see progress.”

He also claimed that Nigeria is making significant strides in turning things around despite the challenging economy.
“We are proud of these reforms. You are bringing dignity to Nigeria. Nigeria is returning to the world stage.”
The former Akwa Ibom State governor further assured Nigerians that the Tinubu-led government would overcome the insecurity currently plaguing the nation, provided they have the citizens’ support.
Akpabio added: “For those concerned about security today, I want to assure you that we are on course. With the support of Nigerians, we shall overcome these challenges. We are going to bring peace to Nigeria. We are going to restore peace to the APC family.”
