In a gesture of gratitude and camaraderie, Senator Godswill Akpabio, the recently elected Senate President, paid a visit to the residence of Nyesom Wike, the former governor of Rivers State.
Accompanied by Senator Jubrin Barau, the Deputy Senate President, as well as a delegation of other senators, Akpabio expressed his appreciation to Wike for his instrumental role in his successful bid for the Senate Presidency in the 10th Senate Assembly.
Wike had previously pledged unwavering support from the senators representing Rivers State towards Senator Akpabio’s aspiration. This declaration played a crucial part in securing Akpabio’s victory. Notably, despite being a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Wike has cultivated a newfound rapport with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), a political party to which both President Bola Tinubu and Senator Akpabio belong.
Godswill Akpabio, a former minister of Niger Delta and ex-governor of Akwa Ibom State, was on Monday elected President of Nigeria’s 10th Senate defeating another former governor, Abdul’aziz Yari in the contest.
