Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 44968, member: 636"] Senate President Godswill Akpabio thinks Rivers and Bayelsa states might switch to the All Progressives Congress party soon. He shared these thoughts during a big welcome party for Governor Umo Eno who just joined APC from another political group. Akpabio wants his party to control every state around the South-South area before the 2027 elections happen. He feels confident that more governors will change sides and join the ruling party. The Senate leader praised other state leaders who already made similar moves to APC. Governor Eno decided to leave the Peoples Democratic Party because of fighting and problems happening inside that organization. He officially switched to APC during a ceremony held on June 6 at Uyo city. Many important party members and governors from the Progressive Governors Forum came to witness this political change. Eno had talked about leaving PDP back during April when tensions grew worse. The governor blamed internal crisis and disagreements for pushing him away from his old party. Akpabio mentioned how APC won elections and put Monday Okpebholo into power around Edo State. He thanked Governor Sheriff from Delta State for joining the progressive movement and helping shift the region toward APC control. The Senate President believes more states will follow this pattern and abandon opposition parties. Political experts watch these developments as signs that APC gains strength across southern Nigeria. Party leaders hope to build momentum heading into future election cycles. [/QUOTE]
