Akpabio Supports Tinubu's Unity Government Plan for 2027
On October 15, during a Senate plenary session, Senate President Godswill Akpabio expressed support for President Bola Tinubu's formation of a diverse Presidential Campaign Council, which includes members from opposition parties. Akpabio emphasized that this coalition signifies Tinubu's intention to run a unity government if re-elected in 2027.
The Senate adjourned early to allow members serving on the campaign council to attend its inauguration at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele described the council's formation as historic, highlighting the participation of governors and political leaders from various parties, including Chukwuma Soludo (APGA), Ademola Adeleke (Accord Party), and Nyesom Wike (PDP).
Akpabio noted that this inclusive approach is unprecedented since Nigeria's return to democracy in 1999 and congratulated all involved, asserting that it sets a positive example for Africa.
