Lawan has agreed to back Akpabio for president of the Senate — Uzodimma

Akpabio’s acceptance transcends party lines, according to the chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum.

Less than a day before the start of the 10th National Assembly, Senator Hope Uzodimma, the governor of Imo State and chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, claims that Senator Ahmad Lawan, the departing president of the Senate, has agreed to work toward the election of Senator Godswill Akpabio to that position.

This was said by Uzodimma on Monday after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu on June 12 Democracy Day in a conversation with State House reporters.

Akpabio, the All Progressives Congress’ (APC) preferred candidate for Senate President, has expressed his confidence that he will win on Tuesday.

He claimed that all parties have accepted Akpabio.

In his remarks, Akpabio pledged to collaborate with all senators, regardless of their political views.
