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.
