Jackson Udom, special assistant on media to the senate president, said in a statement that Akpabio spoke while delivering a goodwill message in Owerri, the capital of Imo state.

The occasion was the launch of “Ten Years of Impactful Leadership of the APC Administration in Nigeria”, a book authored by Hope Uzodimma, governor of Imo.

The event also featured the commissioning of projects by President Bola Tinubu.

“Mr President, with what you have done in the last two years, get ready to receive more governors from the opposition parties,” Akpabio said.

“As I speak, there are several governors in Nigeria today that are ready to be received by you.”

The senate president said Nigerians are already beginning to acknowledge the outcomes of Tinubu’s reforms.

Akpabio commended Uzodimma for documenting his tenure, saying progressivism is measured by actions, not words.

“I thank Governor Uzodimma for deciding to put history in writing, in his 10 years of impactful leadership of the APC administration in Nigeria,” the senate president said.

He congratulated Uzodimma and the APC national leadership for the party’s achievements in the last decade.
