[BREAKING] 2027: Senate President In His Own Speech Said By Wednesday,APC Is Going To Have 33 Governors – Ezekwelu

Political analyst Tony-Uche Ezekwelu has reacted to remarks attributed to Senate President Godswill Akpabio regarding the growing influence of the All Progressives Congress (APC) across Nigeria.

Ezekwelu spoke during an interview on Trust TV, where he assessed comments made at the APC National Convention and their implications for Nigeria’s political balance. The analyst pointed to what he described as a bold projection by Akpabio about the ruling party’s expanding control at the state level.

Quoting the Senate President, Ezekwelu said, “Even the senate president in his own speech said by Wednesday, that the APC is likely going to have 33 governors.” The statement reflects growing speculation about possible defections and political realignments that could significantly increase the number of governors under the APC platform.

Currently, the APC holds a majority of governorship seats across the country, but reaching 33 would mark an unprecedented consolidation of power in Nigeria’s democratic history. Observers say such a development, if realized, could reshape the political landscape ahead of future elections and strengthen the party’s dominance at both state and federal levels.

Ezekwelu noted that the comment underscores the fluid nature of Nigerian politics, where alliances often shift rapidly, particularly in the lead-up to major political cycles. He added that projections of this scale also raise questions about the health of opposition parties and the broader implications for democratic competition.
