He stated this during his defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) this weekend in the Doma Local Government Area.
According to The Nation, Akwe-Doma was the party’s governorship candidate in the 2019 elections.
He vowed to collapse the entire structure of ZLP in Nasarawa state into the APC to strengthen the ruling party’s presence and support Tinubu’s 2027 re-election.
Akwe-Doma said he believes his decision to join the ruling APC is vital for the political and economic growth of his supporters.
The former governor’s son emphasised that his decision stemmed from a resolution within the party’s North Central structure to integrate into the APC.
Akwe-Doma hinted that he might still consider throwing his hat into the Nasarawa State Governorship contest under the APC in 2027.
