June 13, (THEWILL) – The emergence of Senator Godswill Akpabio, as the Senate President of the 10th National Assembly, is perfect and good for the country and the oil rich Niger-Delta region, says Hon. Tamuno George Obriki.
Obriki, an ally of Akpabio and the 2023 House of Representatives candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), for Bomadi and Patani Federal Constituency, also appreciated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the National Working Committee (NWC) of APC, for ensuring that Akpabio emerged Senate President.
The Ijaw activist spoke through his media office on Tuesday, while reacting to the election of Akpabio as Senate President and Senator Barau Jibrin, as the Deputy Senate President.
Obriki said, “This is historic, we are grateful to God that South-South has produced the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, and this will certainly strengthen Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.”
He further commended the Senators that voted for Akpabio to emerge as the next leader, adding that Akpabio is well positioned to deliver on the new higher assignment for the interest of the country.
It will be recalled that Obriki had appealed to the leadership of APC to zone the seat of the Senate President to South South.
