Senator Godswill Akpabio, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the 10th National Assembly Senate President, has stated that his election is in the hands of his colleagues.
The senators made the remarks during the ongoing induction program for House members-elect and Senators-elect on the zoning formula earlier on Monday in Abuja.
He did, however, express hope for cooperation between the party and its leadership.
According to him;
It is a normal thing for people to move one direction or the other. I am not worried about anything because I believe that the will of God will be done. In terms of being the Senate President, it is in the hands of my colleagues, the Senators elect. They will take the decision and the will of God will be done.
The lawmakers are the ones choosing the Senate President. But I believe that there should be cooperation between the lawmakers and the party. Once the leadership is out in place, there should be cooperation between the leadership and the administration.
Speaking on the issue of zoning, the party’s preferred candidate for deputy speaker of the House, Hon. Kalu (APC, Abia), stated that having a cohesive house will allow President-elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to achieve his goals for the country.
He said;
A more consolidated House is better for the incoming administration if the objectives set by it is to be achieved. We must work as a formidable front towards confronting the hydra headed problems confronting us as Nigerians.
