Senate President Godswill Akpabio has declared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lost its political relevance in Akwa Ibom State and predicted a complete collapse of party lines by the 2027 general elections.

Speaking at his midterm empowerment briefing at the Ikot Ekpene Township Stadium on Friday, Akpabio said:

“As I speak with you, there is nothing like a political party in 2027 in Akwa Ibom State. For the Senate of Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District, all political parties have collapsed to vote for Senator Godswill Akpabio.

For the office of the governor in 2027, all political parties have collapsed to vote for Governor Umo Eno.”

He described the PDP’s symbolic umbrella as “torn into shreds,” insisting it could no longer provide political shelter to the people.

“The Peoples Democratic Party is in shreds and the umbrella can no longer protect,” he stated.

The Senate President also praised Governor Umo Eno, calling him “a man of peace” and “a sincere follower of God.”

“Umo Eno is a man of God. I’m not talking about those who profess God with their lips. I’m talking about those who practise God in their heart,” Akpabio said.

During the event, Akpabio empowered 1,690 constituents with items including mini buses, passenger tricycles, cassava processing machines, power generators, cookers, deep freezers, and bags of rice.

He also revealed that 68 constituency projects would be commissioned between May 16 and 17.
