Godswill Akpabio, former governor of Akwa Ibom, says
President-elect Bola Tinubu is “God’s own choice” for the leadership of the
country.
Akpabio spoke on Sunday when he was hosted by Babajide Sanwo-Olu,
Lagos state governor.
The former Niger Delta affairs minister was nominated by the
All Progressives Congress (APC) for the position of senate president while
Barau Jibrin was recommended as deputy senate president.
Akpabio said senators-elect for the 10th assembly believe in
the vision Tinubu has for the country and are willing to offer their support.
He said if elected as senate president, he will deploy a
“national approach” to lawmaking in the red chamber.
Akpabio said the nation’s economy is in need of serious
development, adding that the administration of Tinubu will replicate the
development in Lagos at the federal level.
He said the senate will collaborate with the new
administration to bring the dream to fruition.
“The stability group
of the 10th senate is made up of men and women of integrity. We came today to
show ourselves to the governor and also solicit his support,” he said.
“He (Sanwo-Olu) has not only thrown his support behind us,
he has shown so much hospitality. Today, he stood before the cameras to endorse
my humble self to become the president of the 10th senate and Senator Jibrin as
deputy senate president-designate.
“We are not taking this support for granted. This team has
senators elect from different political backgrounds and parties. We are
determined to ensure collaboration and support for the incoming administration
of Tinubu whose presidency is a nationalistic project that will bring positive
development to Nigeria.
“We want him to replicate what has happened in Lagos in the
last 24 years of democracy to cover the rest of the country.”
On his part, Sanwo-Olu described Akpabio as a Nigerian with
an “outstanding profile and experience”, adding that he will set new standards
and break legislative records in the 10th assembly.
