Former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs and now senator-elect for the Ikot-Ekpene Senatorial District, Godswill Akpabio, on Sunday in Abuja, informed the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), of his intent to be President of the 10th Senate.
Akpabio who disclosed this after meeting with the President at his official residence at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, also promised to work closely with the incoming administration in the interest of the youth.
The meeting was held only a few hours after another Senate presidential aspirant, Abdulaziz Yari, visited Buhari and urged the governing All Progressives Congress to allow the North to produce the next Senate helmsman having contributed substantial votes to President-elect Bola Tinubu’s victory.
When asked about his plans if elected to man the third highest office in the land, Akpabio said, “A lot of reforms! Akpabio is known as an uncommon transformer. Akpabio is known as a man who is result-oriented.
“You will recall that when I was a governor, I brought a lot of innovations to bear, infrastructurally, educationally, socially and otherwise and also in terms of human empowerment.
“I intend to bring a lot of reforms into the Senate, in the way and manner we do business, to assist the next administration to succeed. We will be very thorough in doing everything; we’ll bring about loyalty to the Constitution, we’ll bring about loyalty to Nigerians.”
