The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has promised Nigerians that he will run an uncommon Senate by partnering with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to change policies that will aid the progress and development of the country.
Akpabio made the promise during a thanksgiving service in his honour at the Regina Pacis Auditorium, St Anne’s Cathedral, Ifuho in Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State, on Sunday, June 25.
He stated that his partnership with President Tinubu would be solely for the benefit of all Nigerians.
The Senate President promised that the 10th National Assembly would rally around and support the current administration’s programmes aimed at eliminating all inhibiting policies affecting the progress and development of Nigeria.
He said:
“We would be partners in progress for the sole benefit of Nigerians. What I want you to take back home is the fact that Nigerians have elected an uncommon senate president. We will run an uncommon senate for the benefit of the uncommon people.”
Akpabio also commended President Tinubu, the National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and his colleagues in the Senate for supporting him when he was vying for the office of the Senate President.
The new Senate President also received a rousing welcome from Governor Umo Eno and the state’s indigenes at the Victor Attah International Airport, where Akpabio assured them of quality representation as senator and president of the Senate.
