Akpabio: Peace in Rivers Will Boost Tinubu’s Victory in South-south

In a recent interview, Senate President Godswill Akpabio expressed confidence that peace in Rivers State could significantly boost President Bola Tinubu’s chances in the South-south region during the upcoming elections. According to THISDAYLIVE, Akpabio noted that Governor Nyesom Wike’s performance in key areas such as the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), student loans, and economic reforms would contribute to the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s chances in the region. Akpabio, a key member of the APC, emphasized that maintaining peace in Rivers State would be crucial to securing Tinubu’s victory in the region. However, it is important to note that the 2026 elections are still months away, and the political landscape may change significantly before then. The impact of peace in Rivers State on Tinubu’s chances will depend on various factors, including Wike’s own political strategies, the performance of the APC in other parts of the South-south, and national political trends.
