Akpabio in God’s will for me, I’ll succeed with him – Tinubu

 

President Bola Tinubu expressed a sentiment on Thursday, remarking that Senate President Godswill Akpabio is aligned with God’s will for his life.

Tinubu also mentioned that having Akpabio and Speaker Tajudeen Abass by his side would contribute to his success.

These remarks were made during a colloquium commemorating Akpabio’s 61st birthday in Abuja.

Tinubu recalled Akpabio’s inquisitive nature during their previous interactions while Akpabio served as a commissioner in Akwa Ibom and Tinubu as governor of Lagos State. Additionally, Tinubu praised Akpabio’s performance during his tenure as governor of Akwa Ibom State.

He said, “Having Senate President Akpabio and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Right Honourable Abbas, on my side is enough for me to succeed, and we will succeed.

“I believe in the person of Senator Godswill Akpabio. He is truly in God’s will for his life. I was governor of Lagos State from 1999 to 2007, and he was a commissioner.

“As a commissioner, he was extremely inquisitive about what was going on in Lagos. I didn’t know then that he wanted to be a governor.

“As governor, he transformed Akwa Ibom tremendously.”
