The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, declared in Abuja Friday that the All Progressives Party (APC) would overrun candidates of other political parties in the South-south geo-political zone in future elections.
Akpabio made the declaration when he had in audience the national executives of the party from the South-south led by the national vice-chairman, Victor Giadom.
He said indications to that effect were clearly shown from performance of the party in the zone in the last general elections.
“We are steadily moving on, Cross River 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 of 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.”
Continuing, he said, “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 APC has come to stay in the entire South-south.
“In Edo state, the APC governor took the Government House into another party and so the election is coming next year, and 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 strongly believe that working together with you APC can only be stronger in the South-south region and in fact won the zone.”
