As the 10th National Assembly prepares for its inauguration, Senator Hope Uzodimma, Governor of Imo State and Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, revealed that the outgoing Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, has committed to back Senator Godswill Akpabio’s Senate campaign.
Uzodimma made the announcement on Monday, following a meeting with President Bola Tinubu to honor June 12, Democracy Day.

“Akpabio’s acceptance is across party lines,” Uzodimma remarked, demonstrating the senator’s broad popularity.
In response to the encouragement, Akpabio pledged to work cooperatively with all senators, regardless of political affiliation.
In a similar development, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) announced on Monday that the party and parliamentarians elected on its platform are focusing on who would be the leaders of the 10th National Assembly.
The PDP stated this in a statement issued by its national press secretary, Debo Ologunagba, while dismissing rumors that the party has earmarked particular individuals for Minority leadership roles in the 10th NASS.
