Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Senate President, Godswill Akpabio has been criticized for allegedly exposing how senators voted for him.<\/p>\n

Deji Adeyanju, a socio-political activist, said Akpabio\u2019s action was unstatesmanly.<\/p>\n

Adeyanju said Akpabio\u2019s action of exposing how senators voted can divide the senate.<\/p>\n

Tweeting, the rights activist recalled that former Senate President, Bukola Saraki tore the list in 2015.<\/p>\n

According to Adeyanju: \u201cWhat Senate President Akpabio did to his colleagues by exposing those that voted for\/ against him publicly is not statesmanly & will divide the Senate.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is the first Senate President to do such a thing. Saraki shredded the list in 2015 after the Sergeant at Arms handed it to him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Akpabio was the anointed candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the Senate Presidency.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Akpabio emerged as the Senate President during the inauguration of the 10th National Assembly.<\/p>\n

While Akpabio polled 63 votes to emerge winner, Yari got 46 votes.<\/p>\n
