Step down for Akpabio, group urges Senate presidency aspirants
He said, “It is our strong opinion that the ruling party and the President-elect have made the best choices for the leadership positions of the 10th National Assembly and, therefore, the aggrieved aspirants for the same leadership positions should forget about their plans to revolt against the ruling party and accept the choices of the party in good faith, and work for the collective interest of the party, which is aimed at promoting national cohesion and development.
“Let the lawmakers-elect shun selfish and parochial interests and align themselves with the choices of the ruling party and the President -elect, to enable the new administration to start on a solid and formidable foundation.” He added, “We are, therefore, using this medium to further call on all patriotic senators-elect and all other aspirants for the Senate presidency, especially His Excellency, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu; His Excellency, Abdul’aziz Abubakar Yari; and Sen. Osita Izunaso to drop their ambitions and support Sen. Akpabio to emerge as the Senate President of the 10th Senate for the betterment of the country.”
