Under the auspices of the Ntipe Ibibio Unity Mission, the kinsmen of Senate President Godswill Akpabio have stated that the 10th Senate will be dynamic and professional in the interests of Nigerians.
They said this while congratulating Akpabio on his election as chairman of the National Assembly.
Speaking to journalists after Senator Akpabio was elected President of the Tenth Senate, Amb Okon Mkpafit, Convener of the Ntipe Ibibio Unity Mission, said Akpabio’s victory was divinely orchestrated and there is no doubt that he will not bring his experience to this new position.
According to him, there will be inclusion, and the legislative process on the red chamber floor will produce results that will galvanize nation building.
He said:
We the kinsmen of the newly elected President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Obot Akpabio under the auspices of the noble Ntipe Ibibio Unity Mission, are overwhelmed and celebrate his victory today.
We believe strongly that the emergence of Senator Akpabio is a game changer for the Senate, National Assembly, and the nation because he is a man who is of many parts and a progressive indeed that puts the welfare and well-being of the people first.
The Senate will experience dynamism and professionalism in the process of lawmaking, and he will carry every distinguished Senator along, and no will be left behind.
Senator Akpabio’s senate presidency will fast-track national development as the Executive works hand in hand with the National Assembly.
We also make bold to state that Senate President Akpabio and the leadership of the 10th National Assembly will justify the confidence reposed in them by the Senators-elect and the party.
Also, the group commended Senators-elect for believing in Akpabio and assured them that he (Akpabio) will not fail them.
We honestly appreciate and commend our distinguished Senators-elect for overwhelmingly supporting and voting for Senator Akpabio. This is a demonstration of confidence in Senator Godswill Akpabio to lead the 10th Senate based on his ideology, experience, pedigree and track record as Governor, Minister and Senator, he added.
