Akpabio
Senate President Godswill Akpabio has dismissed reports suggesting he promised automatic senatorial tickets to lawmakers who lost in the recent All Progressives Congress (APC) primary elections.
Akpabio’s clarification follows comments he made while addressing senators upon their return from a three-week recess and the Eid-el-Kabir holiday, during which he expressed optimism that efforts were being made to address concerns arising from the party’s primary process.
Speaking at the plenary session, the Senate President acknowledged the challenges faced by some lawmakers and noted that the leadership of the Senate was working to minimise disappointments among members.
