Lawmakers in Godswill Akpabio’s camp are reportedly apprehensive following indications that President Bola Tinubu may have withdrawn his endorsement for Akpabio’s Senate Presidency bid.
This has led lawmakers from the South West to call for a meeting to review their position and chart a new course on the leadership of the 10th Senate.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) had previously announced the endorsement of Akpabio and three others for the topmost positions in the National Assembly, but this was met with protests and condemnation across the country.
Many questioned the rationale behind the party allotting two of the six presiding offices to a zone and leaving the North Central without any position.
Others criticized the zoning of Deputy Speaker to the South-East, arguing the region should have been given the presidency instead.
Additionally, some Nigerians pointed out that Akpabio is currently being investigated by anti-graft agencies over alleged cases of corruption.
Tinubu was said to have heeded the advice of trusted political allies by tacitly withdrawing support for Akpabio, as he is resolute in running a corruption-free government.
