The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has said he will run an uncommon senate by partnering with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to change policies inhibiting the progress and development of Nigeria.
The former minister of Niger Delta Affairs while speaking during a thanksgiving service in his honour at the Regina Pacis Auditorium, St Anne’s Cathedral, Ifuho in Ikot Ekpene LGA Akwa Ibom State Sunday, Akpabio said his partnership with Tinubu would be solely for the benefit of Nigerians.
He said, “The current National Assembly will rally round and support the programmes of the current administration by eliminating all inhibiting policies affecting the progress and development of the country.
“We would be partners in progress for the sole benefit of Nigerians. What I want you to take back home is the fact that Nigerians have elected an uncommon senate president. We will run an uncommon senate for the benefit of the uncommon people.”
He applauded Tinubu, the National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and his colleagues in the senate for supporting him when he contested the office of the senate president.
He said, “I thank you all for coming out to celebrate God’s goodness in my life and that of my family. I thank you for the support during the campaigns and election proper.
“To those who didn’t vote for me, I will represent you well. Continue to pray for me and my colleagues as we daily navigate and steer the ship of the National Assembly for the betterment of all Nigerians.
“I am humbled by this show of love. Humility is all that matters in life. You will see the difference. That is why I am here today to thank God for what he has done for me,” he added.
