Tinubu Wants Akpabio To Be Senate President – Ali Ndume

Senator Ali Ndume has come out to say that President Bola Tinubu already told him that Senator Godswill Akpabio is his preferred candidate for the President of the 10th Senate.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, 75 senators out of 109 members have already queued behind the ambition of Akpabio as of today, so he believes all of the advantages are on his side.

Ndume added that it is possible that some people will jump over at the last minute, but he is confident that they will be victorious.

His words, “As of today, I am telling you we have 75 senators. All advantages are on our side. We have the support of the party, we have the support of the president, and most importantly we have the support of most of the senators. These senators signed up to endorse our programme.”

“Let’s say that some people will jump over at the last minute, that can happen, but I am very confident. I don’t want to be overconfident because people can change their minds, but we have a better candidate.”

“We have two candidates that are in front now, that is Yari and Akpabio and our candidate has all the advantages over the other candidate, politically and intellectually, we have an added advantage.”
