2027: Akpabio endorses nephew, Reps member for second term

AI Summary

Former Senate President Godswill Akpabio publicly endorsed his nephew, who is a sitting member of the House of Representatives, for a second term in the upcoming 2027 elections. The endorsement was made amid ongoing controversy over the 76 oil wells, where a former senator accused Governor Umo Eno of a compromise. Akpabio’s support is expected to influence the campaign dynamics in Akwa Ibom State. The endorsed candidate has not yet responded, and the election commission will oversee the upcoming primaries. The situation may affect voter sentiment ahead of the 2027 polls.
