The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has assured Nigerians that the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration will do all within its powers to ensure that the problems of insecurity currently confronting the country will soon become a thing of the past.
Akpabio gave the assurance on Wednesday while receiving on courtesy visit members of the Ladies Golf Association of Nigeria.
The delegation was led by the LGAN National President, Dr. Lima Ahmed, to the National Assembly.
A statement by the Special Assistant on Media to the President of the Senate, Jackson Udom, quoted Akpabio as saying: “On behalf of the Nigerian Senate, I welcome you to the National Assembly.
“I am equally very happy to receive you in my office.
“As Nigerians, we are all aware of the insecurity challenges we are currently facing and all I can say is that President Bola Ahmed is giving the situation its utmost attention and that is what led to the recent release of the schoolchildren that were abducted in Oyo State.
“The current administration is doing a whole lot and I can assure you that very soon, the issue of security will be a thing of the past.
“Don’t rely on what you hear or see on social media.
“They are not a true reflection of what is happening in our country.”
Speaking further, Akpabio traced the refusal of women in supporting themselves during elections for political offices to the toxic behaviour of those who had in the past been given the opportunities for such positions, only to misuse it to the future detriment of other women.
He assured the golfers of his support and that of the Senate for their forthcoming International Ladies Tournament to be hosted at the IBB International Golf Course in Abuja.
Earlier in her speech, Dr. Ahmed thanked the Senate president for accepting to receive her and her team.
She formally invited Akpabio to the planned tournament and subsequently decorated him as the Grand Patron of the group.
