Senate President Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom North) commended the reconciliation between Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, and Siminalayi Fubara, the governor of Rivers State. Speaking at the APC Rainbow Coalition Presidential Campaign Rally at Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt on November 7, 2026, Akpabio highlighted the significance of this peace for the All Progressives Congress's electoral prospects.

He noted that the unity would enhance the party's chances of supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the upcoming 2027 elections. Akpabio referred to Wike as a leader who values agreements and praised Fubara for his commitment to peace.

He expressed confidence that Rivers voters would continue to support Tinubu, recalling the President's strong performance in the 2023 elections. Akpabio also acknowledged Wike's influence and contributions as FCT minister, asserting that Nigeria's economic policies, including the removal of the fuel subsidy, were essential for the country's progress.
