… Insists Nigeria’s unity must not be compromised
By Jude Opara, Abuja
Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Hon. Yekini Nabena, has declared that if former President Muhammadu Buhari could complete his 8-year term in office, no force or merger will stop President Bola Tinubu from winning the 2027 election.
Nabena equally boasted that no ‘political coup’ in the National Assembly will remove the incumbent President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio as the Chairman.
It could be recalled that there have been talks of a possible merger and formation of a mega party among the opposition parties with some prominent members of the APC in the recent time.
In a statement he issued in Abuja on Tuesday, Nabena expressed optimism that with what the government has in stock for the nation, there is nothing that will stop Tinubu’s reelection.
“The 2027 presidential election will come and go but the President will remain in the South and President Bola Tinubu, by God’s grace, will continue his good job.”
According to the Bayelsa state born APC chieftain, the South and the North must support President Bola Tinubu to succeed in his Renewed Hope Agenda because the country belongs to all Nigerians, adding that the talk on a united nation must not only be on paper or mouth but in reality.
He further added that Nigeria’s unity must not be compromised.
The statement said: “If former President Muhammadu Buhari could complete his eight years in office, by the grace of God Almighty the incumbent, President Bola Tinubu will do the same, not even the talk of a mega party or merger can stop him. The South must also complete the eight years political arrangement and President Bola Tinubu will do that for the South.
“The South will not fight each other again for another region to benefit, the era of division in the Southen Nigeria is gone for good. The Almighty God will perfect President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s health and grant him wisdom to take the country to the promised land.
“The same goes to the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, by God’s grace, he will also complete his term as the Chairman of the National Assembly in ground style, no threat, no blackmail or political machination will do otherwise.
“It must be placed on record that we Nigerians from the South are satisfied with the level of representation we are getting from our distinguished representatives in the National Assembly and we have passed a vote of confidence on them for standing tall.”
Concerning the recent move by some prominent APC leaders hobnobbing with some opposition figures to float a mega party or form merger, Nabena said such people should know that the ruling party is not afraid of them.
