Godswill Akpabio Is The Best APC Candidate For Senate Presidency – Okon Mkpafit

Kinsmen of the consensus candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the position of senate presidency, Godswill Akpabio have come out to throw their weight behind his candidacy.

The group under the auspices of Ntipe Ibibio Unity Mission recently had its say via a press statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to them, they can only urge the ruling APC to not bow to pressure from those who are against the candidacy of the best man for the job, because he is the people’s choice.

The convener of the Ntipe Ibibio Unity Mission, Okon Mkpafit added that Akpabio remains the best choice for the Senate President position among personalities from Southern Nigeria and South South geopolitical zone of the country.

It read, “We the kinsmen of Senator Godswill Akpabio under Ntipe Ibibio Unity Mission, unequivocally declare our unalloyed support of APC zoning of the Senate presidency to South-South and throw our weight behind Senator Godswill Akpabio.”

“We recall that the last time the position came to our zone was in 1979, which was the Second Republic, which saw the emergence of the Senator Joseph Wayas.”

“We plead with all the senators-elect to join hands to ensure that our zone produces the next senate.”

“We have heard and seen how some persons are piling pressure on the APC leadership to drop Senator Akpabio, and we warn that if that happens it will affect the party negatively and that would be counterproductive, and therefore we counsel that the choice of the party be upheld.”

“We also call all Nigerians to join hands with the in-coming President, Bola Tinubu to build our great nation and make it the ‘Giant of Africa’ indeed, the joy of the black nations and the citadel of greatness; and once again reclaim our enviable position among the comity of nations.”
