Akpabio Declares: ‘With PDP in Shreds, Political Parties Could Disappear In 2027’

On Friday in Akwa Ibom State, Senator Godswill Akpabio, the president of the Nigerian Senate, said that the state would not have any political parties for the general election in 2027.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) umbrella has been badly wounded and is no longer able to protect the people, Akpabio said.
At his midterm empowerment briefing at the Ikot Ekpene township stadium, Akpabio, the senatorial representative for the Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District, made these claims.

Following the empowerment ceremony, the Senate President went on to launch a number of significant projects in his district, announcing that roughly 68 projects will be put into service between Friday, May 16, and Thursday, May 17, 2025.

“As I speak with you, there is nothing like a political party in 2027 in Akwa Ibom State again,” Akpabio stated. Every political party has dissolved to support Senator Godswill Akpabio for the Senate of the Ikot-Ekpene Senatorial District. All major parties have committed to supporting Governor Umo Eno for the 2027 governor’s race. President Bola Tinubu, Eno for Akwa Ibom State governor, and Senator Akpabio for the Senate are the candidates Akwa Ibom has moved to support.

“The umbrella can no longer protect the People’s Democratic Party, which is in ruins.”

The president of the Senate described the present governor, Umo Eno, as a man of peace who truly believes in God, pointing out that some people may say they believe in God but not truly live it out.

“Umo Eno is a peaceful man.” Umo Eno is a divine man. I’m not referring about people who made verbal declarations of their faith. People who practice God in their hearts are what I mean. Akpabio remarked, “Umo Eno has united us all.”

The president of the senate expressed gratitude to his wife, Unoma Akpabio, for empowering the populace.

She acts in this way because she is aware that hunger transcends all political affiliations. Whether I’m here or not, my wife, please feed my people. Do not stop sharing. The Senate President added, “Akwa Ibom people will soon show you love.”
