No blackmail, paid adverts will halt public empathy against Akpabio’s Senate Presidency

Ini Billie, Uyo

The Niger Delta Conscience Coalition (NDCC) has said no amount of blackmail and paid advertisements will sway public empathy against the senate Presidency of Godswill Akpabio.

NDCC said that making Akpabio the 10th senate President would make the senate tow the path of honour, fairness and equity in their decision.

President of NDCC, Mr Aniefiok Fabian, and Secretary, John Adango stated on Monday in Uyo, that as a detribalized Nigerian, Akpabio would cement the bond of unity in the country, adding that his capability to work with Nigerians across party and ethic divides speaks in his favour and qualifies him for the senate president job.

“We, members of the Niger Delta Conscience Coalition (NDCC) wish to once again reiterate our unalloyed support for the candidature of Senator Godswill Akpabio as President of the 10th senate.

“This declaration stems from our deep understanding of the person, character, potential and leadership prowess of Senator Godswill Akpabio.

“We wish to state that no amount of blackmail and paid advertisements will sway both the public empathy and support of the majority of senators-elect of the 10th senate from toying the path of honour, fairness and equity in their decision to elect this uncommon leader with undeniable capacity to lead the 10th senate.

“As a detribalized Nigerian, Senator Godswill Akpabio will no doubt use his position as senate President to cement the bond of unity in Nigeria as he has been noted for his ability to work with Nigerians across party and ethic divides in his previous positions and offices,” they stated.

The group argued that as senate President, Akpabio would create harmonious relationship with members across divides, and called on Nigerians to support his quest for the position.

They stated that undeniable facts abound of the capabilities of Akpabio, adding that it would amount to justice and equity that the tenth senate President emerges from the South-South region.
