A Delta state chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and member of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Barr. Ejiro Etaghene has called for support for Senator Godswill Akpabio as the most qualified for the office of the President of the Senate, as the struggle for who becomes the President of the 10th Assembly gathers momentum at the Red Chambers of the Senate.
Etaghene who made this statement during a press briefing at the weekend in Warri, Delta State, while speaking to newsmen, pointed out that apart from Senator Akpabio’s pedigree as an uncommon former governor of Akwa Ibom state, he has also demonstrated that he is a core progressive.
The Delta APC Chieftain, Barr. Etaghene had recalled that Senator Akpabio had at a time, relinquished his position as Minority Leader and left the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) when Saraki and his cohorts were bent on sabotaging the Buhari’s administration by stifling the progress of the government through unnecessary legislative hurdles.
Speaking further, Etaghene said, “Sen. Akpabio believes so much in Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s vision. You all saw him at the Eagle Square during the APC primaries when he stepped down and declared his support for the President-Elect. That is the vision I am talking about.
“Sen. Akpabio has all the requisites of being a leader of the Red Chambers as a lawyer and a former Minority Leader of the Senate and there is no doubt that he will be a bridge between the Senate and the Executive if given the mandate to lead the senate at the 10th assembly.
“I therefore appeal to all the senators-elect to rally support for Sen. Godswill Akpabio as he has sacrificed greatly for the party, APC by delivering the party in his senatorial district unlike his counterparts.”
