Former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs and Akwa Ibom
North-West Senator-Elect, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has dismissed as false
reports that he had quit the race for the Senate Presidency in the forthcoming
10th Senate, saying he is still in the contest.
Media reports, on Monday, said that the former Akwa Ibom
State two-term governor and former minority leader of the Senate might drop his
Senate Presidency ambition for a ministerial appointment in the cabinet of the
President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
Akpabio was one of the seven presidential aspirants who
stepped down for Tinubu at the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential
primaries.
Picking holes in the withdrawal from the Senate Presidency
race report, Akpabio said it was the blackmailers' handiwork.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Jackson
Udom, the Senator-elect said: “Please, tell them that the story is complete
falsehood and blackmail cooked and served from the pit of hell. These tissues
of lies lack substance and only exist in the minds of its purveyors and
backers.”
