Senate President Godswill Akpabio has said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has enough achievements to present to Nigerians as the party prepares for the 2027 general elections.
Akpabio also assured senators who would not return to the 11th Senate that their loyalty to the APC and President Bola Tinubu would not go unrewarded.
He spoke while receiving members of the Senate Committee on Tertiary Institutions, TETFund and NELFund, led by its chairman, Senator Mohammed Dandutse, in his Uyo residence in Akwa Ibom State.
Akpabio said the Tinubu administration had made significant progress since taking office.
“The current President has done a lot for Nigerians. He met an economy in shambles. When he came in, 27 states could not pay salaries and pensions but today, the story has changed because of his reengineering and thinking out of the box. In 2027 Nigerians will separate the shafts from the grains and re-elect President Tinubu for a second term in office.”
He said the administration would have substantial achievements to present during the 2027 campaigns.
“We have a President who thinks outside the box, bringing about innovation. We will have something to tell Nigerians about the unprecedented achievements of Mr President at the campaign grounds. Someone who is challenging him cannot even tell us what he did when he was governor. I can tell you what I did when I was the governor of my state. We will tell them a lot.
“Those in the opposition know too well, the achievements of this government in the area of the economy, agriculture, security, education and fiscal policy, but because they are in the opposition, they won’t say it.”
Akpabio also praised the performance of the 10th Senate under his leadership.
“The 10th Senate under my leadership, has made giant strides and we are very proud of it. We will continue to collaborate with the Executive arm of government to achieve more for Nigerians.
“Even in this period of our annual vacation, you are here in Uyo doing your job. We don’t need to listen to the social media becaue it is gabage in, gabage out.”
Earlier, Dandutse said the delegation was in Akwa Ibom to perform its constitutional responsibilities and pay homage to the Senate President.
“We are here today for a very important constitutional responsibility and to pay homage to our leader. The Senate President of the Republic of Nigeria.
Under your leadership, we have enacted the law that is benefiting the Nigerian masses.”
He added: “Nigerian parents are happy because of NELFUND and TELFUND. We are in Akwa Ibom State on sensitization and oversight on all of the infrastructures executed by TETFUND.
On behalf of my colleagues, I want to sincerely appreciate your airport. This law is fundamental to the success story of the development of Nigeria, because education is key to success.”
