Ndume bragged that the former governor of Akwa Ibom would easily win the Senate’s top post.
Based on the 69 senators’ support for him regardless of their political affiliations, Akpabio stated in his response that he was confident of winning.
In order to realize his patriotic ambition in the nation, the former governor of Akwa Ibom State vowed to cooperate with the incoming president Tinubu.
Akpabio said: “We would collaboratively work with others and the governor to ensure Lagos succeeds, bring foreign direct investment, and make sure Nigeria becomes a business-friendly destination for all, among other benefits.
“Today, we about 69 and its still growing. By June, we expect this group two have risen to about 85 or 86, and all I know is that we will win.”
