Vice-President Kashim Shettima says Godswill Akpabio will make a “very competent” president of the senate. Shettima spoke at a dinner organised by the Stability Group, Akpabio’s campaign platform, at Transcorp Hilton in Abuja on Saturday.The decision created ripples within the party, with Abdulaziz Yari, a former governor of Zamfara, and Orji Uzor Kalu, the chief whip, insisting on vying for the position.
Shettima said the APC needs to present itself as a party that embraces diverse religious and ethnic spread.“My CSO is an Igbo man who had worked with me when I was governor. He has been a dedicated and loyal officer, even in the heat of the Boko Haram attacks in Borno,” he said.
