LEADERSHIP reliably gathered that the visit was a fallout of the outcome of the election of Presiding Officers in the 10th National Assembly. Yari had contested the Senate Presidency of the 10th Senate against Akwa Ibom South-West Senator, Godswill Akpabio, who eventually emerged victorious shortly before the inauguration of the 10th National Assembly on Tuesday, June 13, 2023.

On his visit, the NGF chairman sought Senator Yari’s support for the new leadership of the 10th Senate and the ‘Renewed Hope’ agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
