All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the House of Representatives for Bomadi and Patani Federal Constituency in 2023 general elections, Hon. Tamuno George Obriki said, Senator Godswill Akpabio is best person for the Senate Presidency for the 10th National Assembly to be constituted in June, 2023.
Hon. Obriki made this known in a chat with newsmen on Thursday in Warri, Delta State . According to him, the people of South South region had embraced APC and Akpabio as Senate President will strengthen Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Presidency.
He said:” We should not forget in a hurry the contributions of the South South to the economy of the country, If the South South strives and there is peace, the nation’s economy will be better. I am a foundation member of APC and I remember when Senator Godswill Akpabio embraced APC and was made Coordinator South South for President Buhari campaign in 2019 and he ( Akpabio) worked with all he had at the detriment of his senatorial election bid.”
Hon. Obriki added that Akpabio is an uncommon transformer and his footprints are everywhere in Akwa Ibom state and therefore appealed to party to micro zone the Senate President to the South South region as the people in the region tried more than the sister region in the south East in the February 25 in 2023 Presidential polls.
He said:” I want to appeal to our great party to micro zone the Senate President to the South South region. We tried in this region compared to our sister region the South East region in the Feb 25th 2023 Presidential elections.”
The Niger Delta Activist further appealed to Senators-elect from the North West to tow the part of the Northern Governors to support the South South to actualize this mandate (produce the Senate President).
