The Office of the President of the Senate has dismissed reports claiming that Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, promised to secure senatorial tickets for lawmakers who lost in the recent All Progressives Congress primary elections.
In a statement issued on Saturday, Akpabio’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Eseme Eyiboh, described the reports as misleading and a misrepresentation of Akpabio’s remarks.
According to him, Akpabio neither made nor authorised any promise to guarantee tickets for senators affected by the outcome of the party primaries.
The statement explained that the Senate President merely sympathised with colleagues who were adversely affected by the exercise and assured them that the APC leadership was working to address issues arising from the primaries.
