SOUTH SOUTH APC ENDORSES TINUBU, FOUR GOVERNORS FOR SECOND TERM
The South South chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and four governors from the region for a second term in office. The endorsement was made at the APC South South stakeholders’ meeting held in Benin City, where party leaders and delegates from across the region gathered to review the political landscape and strategize for the future. The four governors endorsed are Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State, Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State, Bassey Otu of Cross River State, and Monday Okpebholo of Edo State. According to the APC National Vice Chairman (South South), Hon. Victor Gaidom, the governors have demonstrated remarkable leadership and performance in their respective states, making them worthy of reelection. “We are united in our support for President Tinubu and our governors,” Gaidom said, announcing the unanimous decision of the stakeholders. The stakeholders also praised President Tinubu’s efforts in economic reform, infrastructure development, and national security, pledging their unwavering support for his reelection bid. Senate President Godswill Akpabio, who is also the APC leader in the South South, urged the zone to support President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and ensure he is returned to office in 2027. “Let us bury division and rally behind the APC, the only party with the structure, vision, and leadership to transform Nigeria,” Akpabio said. Governor Oborevwori, who was represented at the meeting by his deputy, Sir Monday Onyeme, is expected to benefit significantly from the endorsement, which sets the tone for intensified preparations toward securing a second term in office. The APC’s endorsement of both President Tinubu and the four governors in the region is seen as a consolidation of the party’s base and a build-up of early momentum ahead of the next electoral cycle.
