Godswill Akpabio, the president of the Senate, has urged Nyesom Wike, the former governor of Rivers State, and his four other colleagues in the G5 to form a new faction within the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in order to make the ruling All Progressives Congress’ (APC) victory in the 2027 presidential election easy.
The former governor of Akwa Ibom State, Akpabio, stated this while giving a speech during a thanksgiving gathering on Sunday at Wike’s private property on Ada-George Road in Rumueprikom, a town in the oil-rich South-South state’s Obio-Akpor Local Government Area.
Speaking to Wike who backed the return of power to Southern Nigeria and supported APC’s candidate, Bola Tinubu against his party’s choice, Atiku Abubakar in the 2023 presidential election, Akpabio said, “I want to thank you for all your efforts to bring justice to Nigeria.
