Akpabio said this on Friday at a meeting of APC leaders in Uyo ahead of the next governorship election in 2027.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be an aberration for the number three citizen not to have a governor from the same party at the end of an election.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, wherever the Senate president is, that is where the party is.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs it possible that Nigeria will give Akwa Ibom the number three citizen and at the end of the election, it will not produce an APC governor?\u201d Akpabio asked.<\/p>\n

Pastor Umo Eno of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is the current Governor of Akwa Ibom State.<\/p>\n

Eno took over from Emmanuel Udom after the 2023 general elections.<\/p>\n
