Akpabio Assures Legislative Duties Amid 2027 Elections
Dr. Godswill Akpabio, the President of the Senate, stated that the Nigerian House of Assembly will maintain its legislative responsibilities despite the impending 2027 electioneering period. This assurance was given during a meeting with APC Critical Stakeholders in Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District, where he, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and Governor Umo Eno received unanimous endorsement for their re-election bids.
Akpabio clarified that legislative duties and election campaigns are distinct and will not disrupt each other. He mentioned that they are elected for a four-year term and will fulfill their obligations throughout this period.
He noted that campaign activities could be scheduled around legislative work, allowing them to continue making laws that address the needs of the people. The statement was relayed by his Special Assistant on Media, Jackson Udom, on August 30, 2026.
