Why Akpabio Could Emerge as a Strong 2031 Presidential Contender
The North may be assuming that the presidency will return to the region in 2031. I believe that assumption could prove costly. While northern politicians compete over possible candidates, Godswill Akpabio is steadily strengthening his political position. As Senate President, he remains close to the centre of power and has built relationships across party and regional lines. If President Tinubu completes two terms, internal rivalry in the North could create an opening for a South-South candidate. Akpabio may be underestimated now, but his influence and strategic positioning could make him a serious contender when the race begins.
