The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, said that President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress leadership’s style of governance is strengthening the ruling party while steadily reducing the influence of the opposition, as more Nigerians align with the APC.
Akpabio, speaking on Friday at the APC 8th National Convention and 4th Elective Convention in Abuja, said Tinubu’s reforms are driving progress across key sectors including the economy, infrastructure, security, and agriculture.
Since assuming office in May 2023, Tinubu has introduced major reforms that have been met with mixed reactions from Nigerians.
However, Akpabio maintained that these policies have helped reposition Nigeria on the global stage.
The Senate President stated, “APC is showing the way. I want to say that, as a result of the good governance brought by Mr President, there are now only two political parties in Nigeria: APC and others. APC and others.
“Mr President, since you came on board as President, this is your first major convention. The last one was when you became the candidate of our great party. I thank you because what is attracting all of us and all Nigerians to the APC today is good governance.
“From removing subsidies, to harmonising the idea of multiple exchange rates, and to your reforms in the education sector, you have brought about progress that now gives students greater opportunities for national education. You have brought about agricultural revolution. Your policies are real. Now people can travel from Lagos all the way to Ibadan. Now people can travel from Lagos to Calabar. As I speak now, I have taken a ride through the coastal roads that we contemplated 50 years ago in the Niger Delta region.”
