Akpabio Reaches Out to Senators-Elect to Address Grievances

Senator Godswill Akpabio, the Senator-elect representing Akwa Ibom North-west and nominee of the All Progressive Congress (APC) for the position of Senate President, has begun a reconciliatory campaign to address grievances among lawmakers.

He aims to pacify aggrieved lawmakers following the party’s decision.

During an interactive session with journalists in Lagos, Akpabio also promised that if elected as Senate President, the 10th Assembly under his leadership would pursue pro-business legislations to create a more conducive environment for businesses to thrive and support the ailing economy.

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has also expressed his support for the ‘Stability Group’ that is rooting for the emergence of Akpabio and Senator Barau Jibrin as President and Deputy President of the 10th Senate.

Akpabio has secured the support of about 69 senators-elect ahead of voting next month.

The Stability Group comprises the 69 senators-elect who have already signed for the emergence of Akpabio and Jubrin.

The National Working Committee of the APC recently agreed on a formula that resulted in the zoning of the Senate Presidency to the South-south geopolitical zone and the Deputy Senate Presidency to the North-west geopolitical zone following extensive consultations with the president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and other party stakeholders.
