APC Chairman Says Akpabio Has No Guaranteed Return as Senate President in 2027

APC National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda says he has no preferred candidate for Senate President after the 2027 elections. He said senators elected to the next National Assembly would decide who leads the chamber. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Monday, Yilwatda said the party would wait for the election before considering the position. His comments come as some senators have publicly backed Godswill Akpabio for another term. Akpabio has led the Senate since June 2023 and is seeking re-election to the National Assembly. Even if he wins, he would still need the support of his fellow senators to retain the presidency.
