How Popular Is Akpabio In The South South by mancoconut: 12:37pm On May 05, 2023
Considering that the South South is a multi-ethnic enclave with dynamic and unique sociocultural and political interests that vary amongst all its ethnic components, does a possible emergence of Akpabio as SP under President Druggies' "govt" represent the general interests of all the various ethnic nationalities in the SS? I hope the Ijaw, Delta-Igbo, Urhobo, Itshekiri, Ikwerre etc will accept him as the sole representative of all their interests as a people? I don't know much about the popularity of Akpabio as a person, but I know for sure he's definitely not the popular/or charismatic figure from the South South region compared to maybe Wike.

I initially thought Akpabio will be a wrong choice for senate president before until I checked the 2023 presidential election for Akwa Ibom State.

He really tried for APC. If Akpabio and the APC structure in Akwa Ibom can deliver this percentage of vote for him in a state where Udom is almost like the campaign DG to Atiku, then we should give kudos to Akpabio.

He is truly loyal compared to Orji Kalu that couldn’t deliver APC even after he won his senatorial election. The only vote he gave Tinubu still turned out to be an invalid vote with him snapping it.

Atiku — 214,012
Tinubu — 160,620
Obi — 132,683

ijaw, urhobo, itshkekiri, and ikwerre accept him as how? is there any constitutional sections that says Senate president must be from a particular region or faith? Kids everywhere that doesn't read and understand the constitution always rushing to create useless and uneducated threads all over the net

Akpabio is Far more popular than Orji Kalu who turned Abia in a refuse dump

that can be smelt from Port Harcourt when the wind blows in the right direction

That aside SE has produced 5 Senate Presidents since 1999

No SS person would truly support a wike especially at this time

Akpabio is good and fine we just don't like loud mouths like wike, oshomole dem

I personally think Oshiomole would have been a better SP candidate, Akpabio who is a PDP fugitive still has a corruption case on his head which explains why he's fighting tooth and tail to be on the good side of Emi lo kan. But wetin concern me, na South South people go decide wetin dem want.

I don't think any Igbo person cares about Orji Uzor Kalu, if anything we're hoping and praying APC retire his political career for good cause he's absolutely irrelevant to the interests and goodwill of the Igbos.

Tribes don't need to accept him.

Only the elected senators and to a lesser extent, the Political Patties need to accept him.

Did all the Tribes in the N/Central accepted David Mark or Bukola Saraki as Senate President?

Fantastic.

We in the Tinubu camp are also happy that Akpabio will be the next senate president.

We and the Igbo are on the same page on this. Gracias.

Akpabio does not represent any interest aside his. If Senate Presidnt position is thrown open to the people of SS to chose, Akpabio will not even come third.

What you consider noisy might be considered popular to someone else.
