Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Senator Godswill Akpabio has asked the All Progressives Congress, APC, to rein in lawmakers against the anointed candidates to lead the 10th National Assembly.<\/p>\n

Akpabio made the request on Tuesday in Abuja when he led 42 other Senators to the party chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, and members of the National Working Committee (NWC).<\/p>\n

The APC zoned the Senate Presidency to Akpabio, Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin (Kano), House of Representatives Speaker Abass Tajudeen (Kaduna) and Deputy Speaker Ben Kalu (Abia).<\/p>\n

Akpabio explained that his visit to the party\u2019s national secretariat was to show solidarity and appreciation for the endorsement.<\/p>\n

The former Akwa Ibom governor said it was fair to zone the senate presidency to the South-South as the region last produced a Senate President in 1979.<\/p>\n

Akpabio further disclosed that he and his group would visit the chairmen of other political parties for consultations and advice.<\/p>\n

The 10th Assembly will end poverty, insecurity and unemployment \u201cthrough legislations of supervision and strict oversight\u201d, he assured.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth the Bible and the Quran charge us to respect leadership because that is the only way to progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge you to talk to them because that is the only way to progress. We intend to bring stability and make you proud,\u201d the former minister added.<\/p>\n
