FCT, Abuja - The leaders of both the Senate and the House of Representatives have expressed their full support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second term, stating that the country is currently on a path of growth and progress.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio, who moved the motion on Thursday, May 22, during the APC National Summit at the State House banquet hall in Abuja, acknowledged that the 2023 election posed significant challenges for President Tinubu.

Joined by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, and Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu, among others, Akpabio expressed optimism about the future.

He predicted that Tinubu would secure even more states in the 2027 elections, stating that he sees a clear shift in momentum in the President’s favour.

He stated:

“If this President has done well, isn’t it our responsibility to say so? And if he hasn’t done well, isn’t it also our duty to serve him a notice of impeachment?

“We are not giving him a notice of impeachment. We are giving him a notice that it was difficult for him in 2023. But in 2027, I see everything turning around. I see things changing. The number of states that are coming to join you is growing.”

As reported by The Punch, Akpabio remarked that despite the challenges, President Tinubu is actively working to reposition Nigeria.

The Senate President stated that with opposition parties, particularly the PDP, in disarray, President Tinubu should be re-elected in 2027 as the sole candidate.

“All other political parties are in disarray. I went to my state and saw the PDP’s umbrella,it had over 100 holes. Very soon, you will hear the news, though it’s not my place to announce it. But I know the National Chairman has already hinted at it, everything (political structure) in the South-South has collapsed in your favour.”
