Akpabio may win Senate President, if …. Sani
Senator Shehu Sani, on Sunday predicted that Godswill Akpabio, would win the Senate President contest if the election would be broadcast live.
Sani noted that Akpabio, who is President Bola Tinubu, and All Progressives Congress’ choice may emerge following the format of the poll, adding that the pendulum may swing to the other side of former Zamfara State Governor, Abdullazeez Yari.
He made this disclosure via his verified twitter handle.
Sani said, “Akpabio Vs Yari.
“If open ballot is adopted in the chamber and shown on live TV where the President will be watching every senator,the President’s anointed candidate will win squarely.
“If Secret Ballot is adopted in the chamber and no one knows where anyone voted,the result will…”
Recall that some Senators-elect were said to have withdrawn their support following the behavior of Akpabio as Minister of Niger-Delta, especially when he was questioned about the ministry’s performance.
Our correspondent reports that the meeting between Akpabio, also known as uncommon governor following his performance as Governor of Akwa Ibom State, popularised the words, Is okay, off the mic(rophone).
Some of those whose supports he seemed to have lost said he may not be trusted, as it was unrealistic to bestow the leadership of the hallowed chamber to someone who once denigrated their authority.
Inauguration of 10th assembly is scheduled for Tuesday.
