By Sola Omoniyi, Lagos

Following the emergence of Senator Godswill Akpabio as the Senate President of the 10th National Assembly, Niger Delta Activist, Hon. Tamuno George Obriki, has assured that Akpabio’s leadership would benefit the country and the oil rich Niger Delta region.

The activist also commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the National Working Committee of APC for ensuring that Akpabio emerged Senate President.

The former 2023 reps candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Bomadi and Patani Federal Constituency, gave the assurance on Tuesday, while reacting to the election of Akpabio as Senate President and Senator Barau Jibrin as the Deputy Senate President.

Obriki, who is a strong fan of Akpabio said, “This is historic, we are grateful to God that South-South has produced the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, and this will certainly strengthen Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.”

He further commended majority of the Senators that voted for Akpabio to emerge as Senate President, noting that Akpabio is well positioned to deliver on the new assignment for the interest of the country.

It would be recalled that Obriki had appealed to the leadership of APC to zone the Senate President to South-South, which was later done by the party.
