Senate President Godswill Akpabio has claimed that more governors from opposition parties are ready to join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) because of President Bola Tinubu’s achievements in office.
Jackson Udom, Special Assistant on Media to the Senate President, said this in a statement on Wednesday.
Udom quoted Akpabio as saying this on Tuesday, while delivering a goodwill message in Owerri, the Imo State capital, during the launch of “Ten Years of Impactful Leadership of the APC Administration in Nigeria”, a book authored by Hope Uzodimma, the state governor.
The event also featured the commissioning of projects by Tinubu.
“Mr President, with what you have done in the last two years, get ready to receive more governors from the opposition parties,” Akpabio said.
“As I speak, there are several governors in Nigeria today that are ready to be received by you.”
The senate president said Nigerians are already beginning to acknowledge the outcomes of Tinubu’s reforms.
“The students, farmers and businessmen are all speaking on the various reforms you have brought into governance which are now yielding results in the overall interest and benefit of the people,” he said.
“If we say it, they will accuse us of rubber-stamping your achievements, but the beneficiaries are the ones talking about what you have done.”
Akpabio commended Uzodimma for documenting his tenure, saying progressivism is measured by actions, not words.
