Akpabio's Resignation from APC Claim Proven False
A viral video circulated on Facebook suggested that Godswill Akpabio, the Nigerian Senate President, announced his resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general elections. The 18-second clip, shared by The Opposition, featured Akpabio stating, "I write to formally tender my resignation letter from the APC effective today." However, an investigation by the fact-checking organization Dubawa revealed that the clip was misleading.
Akpabio was actually reading a resignation letter from Senator Olubiyi Fadeyi Ajagunla, who had announced his departure from the APC to join the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in July 2026. The full context of the video, which lasted over seven minutes, clarified that Akpabio was acting in his official capacity as Senate President.
Neither Akpabio nor the APC's official social media accounts confirmed any resignation, making the viral claim false.
