APC Senators Majority By Sojworldnews | April 22, 2026
Nigeria’s political landscape may be heading for a dramatic shift as Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has boldly declared that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is on the verge of tightening its grip on the National Assembly.
In a trending video circulating on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Akpabio confidently disclosed that the APC already controls a significant majority in the Senate and is still negotiating with more lawmakers to join its ranks.
APC senators majority: ⚡ “We Have 87 Senators Already” — Akpabio Declares
Speaking in the video, the Senate President did not mince words about the party’s dominance.
“Out of 106 senators, the APC now has about 87 senators. Remain few people to join us, but about twenty-something are still negotiating with me.”

He further hinted that the ruling party’s numbers could rise even higher once ongoing discussions are finalized.
“When the negotiations are completed, I will let you know so we can move as one.”
APC senators majority: 🏛️ APC Tightening Its Grip On The Senate
The Senate, which consists of 109 seats, currently has a few vacancies. However, Akpabio’s claim suggests that the APC is close to commanding near-total control of legislative activities in the 10th National Assembly.
Political observers say such dominance could significantly influence lawmaking, oversight functions, and executive-legislative relations under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
🤔 What This Means For Opposition Parties
If the APC successfully secures more defections, opposition parties may struggle to maintain influence in the Senate. This could weaken checks and balances, while also reshaping Nigeria’s political power structure ahead of future elections.
Analysts also warn that ongoing negotiations could trigger fresh political alignments and internal party tensions.
📊 A Senate On The Brink Of Realignment
With “twenty-something” senators reportedly in talks, the coming weeks may determine whether the APC cements an overwhelming majority or faces resistance from opposition blocs.
For now, Akpabio’s statement signals a clear message: the battle for control of the Senate is far from over—but the APC appears firmly in the driver’s seat.
