Polls offset in senate as saraki akpabio set to lose seats
It seems like you're referring to the recent political developments in Nigeria, particularly the Senate elections. Here's a summary of the situation:
- Bukola Saraki, the Senate President, is facing a tough re-election bid in Kwara Central Senatorial District.
- Godswill Akpabio, the former Governor of Akwa Ibom State, is also facing a tight race in Akwa Ibom North-West Senatorial District.
- According to reports, both Saraki and Akpabio are trailing in the polls, with their opponents gaining ground.
- The polls are being closely watched, as the outcome could have significant implications for the balance of power in the Senate.
It's worth noting that the Nigerian Senate has 109 seats, with 53 seats up for grabs in the 2023 elections. The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) currently holds 68 seats, while the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), holds 37 seats.
The outcome of the elections will likely have a significant impact on the balance of power in the Senate, with potential implications for the country's political landscape.
