During a meeting with the APC’s National Executives from the South-South region, Akpabio expressed confidence in the party’s potential for significant success, underscoring past electoral achievements and the strides made by the APC in the region.
Highlighting notable accomplishments, Akpabio praised the APC’s stronghold in Cross Rivers State and its prominent representation in legislative bodies such as the Senate and House of Representatives in Akwa Ibom.
Emphasizing collaborative efforts, Akpabio also underscored the potential for a strengthened APC presence in the South-South region.
He stated, “We are making steady progress. Cross River State is now 100% APC. Although there may be individuals in the Senate, House of Representatives, and House of Assembly from different parties, the governorship and government of the state are firmly in the hands of the APC.”
“Akwa Ibom currently has the Senate President, and with members of the House of Representatives, it indicates positive developments. Winning the presidential election in Rivers State, where the Zonal chairman hails from, and the 2019 victory in Bayelsa State, despite legal challenges, affirm that the APC is firmly established in the entire South.”
“In Edo State, the APC governor defected to another party, so as we approach the upcoming election, I expect the chairman to intensify efforts, involving all of us in the campaign, to reclaim what rightfully belongs to us.”
Akpabio concluded, “Your visit is timely, and I am confident that by working together, the APC can strengthen its position in the South-South Region and secure victory in the zone.”
The APC delegation, led by Victor Giadom, the National Vice Chairman for the South-South, actively participated in the discussions, demonstrating the party’s dedication to enhancing its influence and expanding its presence within the region.

Arabambi said attempts by the Nenadi Usman-led faction to reintegrate Obi would fail, stressing that the party’s leadership has taken a final position on the matter.
He made the statement during an interview on News Central, saying the decision followed internal consultations involving key figures such as the Julius Abure-led leadership and Abia State Governor Alex Otti.
According to him, the party has also resolved to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
Arabambi further blamed Obi and his supporters for contributing to Labour Party’s internal challenges during the 2023 elections, alleging organizational failures during the polls.
He maintained that Obi’s return to the party is completely off the table, insisting that the issue is already settled within the party’s leadership structure.
The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has dismissed claims by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar that it is part of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a statement on Thursday, NNPP National Secretary Ogini Olaposi said the party is not affiliated with the ADC and has no plans to join or merge with the coalition.
He clarified that the involvement of former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso and members of the Kwankwasiya Movement in ADC activities does not represent the NNPP as a political party.
Olaposi also claimed that only a minority of Kwankwasiya supporters followed Kwankwaso, insisting that many of them have since joined the APC.
He further accused Atiku of misinformation, stressing that NNPP remains an independent political party focused on contesting elections on its own platform.
According to him, any previous association with the Kwankwasiya Movement ended after the 2023 general elections, adding that Kwankwaso and some associates had already been expelled from the party.
The NNPP maintained that it respects other political parties but has no interest in joining the ADC coalition.
