Ndume: Senator_Akpabio not APC anointed candidate for senate president — only a preferred choice | TheCable
May 9, 2023 9:01 AMAli Ndume, senator representing Borno south district, says Godswill Akpabio is not the “anointed” candidate of the All Progressives Congress for senate president of the 10th national assembly.
Akpabio was nominated for president of the senate, while Tajudeen was endorsed for the role of speaker of the house of representatives.The announcement came after two months of intense politicking by some lawmakers-elect for leadership positions in the national assembly. Ndume, who had also declared his interest in the position, said the senators would still have to vote to determine the leader of the red chamber.“I don’t think anointed is the right word to use. The APC has Akpabio as its preferred candidate, that would be a better word,” he said.
