During the 39th-anniversary celebrations of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria's Senate President Godswill Akpabio predicted a significant victory for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming 2027 elections. He called for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and incumbent Governor Umo Eno, framing the election as a referendum on continuity and structural reform.

Akpabio highlighted the importance of Tinubu's economic policies for Nigeria's long-term industrialization and infrastructure development, stating that the "Renewed Hope" agenda is essential for sustained prosperity.

He acknowledged the contributions of Akwa Ibom's citizens to the state's development, asserting that their resilience is its greatest resource.
