Adversaries have been advised to allow Godswill Akpabio to do his God-given job as the President of the 10th Senate.
A socio-political group, the Southern Nigeria Youth Assembly jaded down this advice yesterday in Umuahia after their stakeholders meeting and condemned calls for his resignation over what they termed, “a jovial comment”, and further describing the call as a distraction.
The Spokesperson of the group and south-south zonal chairman, Comrade George Udom disclosed this resolution of the youths
Also speaking, the Southeast zonal chairman Hon. Ikenna Alozie noted that Sen. Apabio should be allowed and encouraged to do his job “other than subjecting him to unnecessary and selfish criticism aimed at only distracting the senate from carrying out their legislative duties”.
Alozie condemn in totality the call for the resignation of the Senate president, stating that Akpabio is known to be a jovial and a kind hearted politician that has helped many Nigerians positively to achieve their dreams.
Similarly, the south west zonal chairman Amb Kunle Thomas said Sen Akpabio is innocent and did not commit any crime in the announcement he made on the floor of the senate, pointing out that paying allowances is an age long tradition in National Assembly.
“Many Nigerians lack the knowledge of how civil service works. The senators are on salaries and other entitlements due to them,” he said.
The group had earlier through their President, Engr. Njoku Moses Chuks, passed a vote of confidence on Sen. Akpabio and all other senstors of the 10th National assembly for initiating people oriented legislations.
While congratulating the newly sworn in ministers from Southern Nigerian, they commended the Senate for their sacrifice in completing the task of ministerial screening and enjoin all Nigerians to commend the senators for a job work well done.
