A message has been sent to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The message was sent ahead of the June 13 inauguration of the tenth National Assembly by kinsmen of Godswill Akpabio.
Politics Nigeria reports that the former Akwa Ibom state governor is the consensus candidate of the ruling party for the position of Senate presidency.
The group under the auspices of Ntipe Ibibio Unity Mission called on the ruling APC not to bow to pressure from those who are against the candidacy of the “best man for the job.”
The convener of the Ntipe Ibibio Unity Mission, Okon Mkpafit, who disclosed the group’s position said Akpabio remains the best choice for the senate president position among personalities from Southern Nigeria and South South geopolitical zone of the country.
He said:
“We the kinsmen of Senator Godswill Akpabio under Ntipe Ibibio Unity Mission, unequivocally declare our unalloyed support of APC zoning of the Senate presidency to South-South and throw our weight behind Senator Godswill Akpabio.”
