The Middle-belt Youths for Good Governance and Transparency, MYGT, a coalition of North Central Youths has vowed to promote Senator Godswill Akpabio until he clinch the senate President of the 10th National Assembly.
Speaking through their spoke person, Alhaji Bala Yusuf, who condemned in strong terms the recent attempt by certain group, to undermine the widespread clamour for Senator Godswill Akpabio Presidency of the Senate.
The group disclosed that it has adopted Sen. Godswill Akpabio as the APC candidate for the Senate President, insisting that no amount of blackmail and fictitious petitions would deter his group from ensuring that Sen Akpabio is elected senate President.
The Group notes with emphasis that as Minority Senate Leader for four Years and ab Minister for three years has demonstrated competence and capacity to lead whatever assignments including the senate Presidency.
“Why the rush now to bring him down at all cost. The EFCC and other graft agencies must not allow themselves to be used by politicians to frustrate the ambition of Godswill Akpabio, with capacity and pedigree to preside the National Assembly as Senate President.
The group added that the Senator-elect and by the Grace of God incoming Senate President has nothing to fear, as his conduct and character, recognises EFCC and it’s leadership when he said his lawyer, Umeh Kalu, would not be available on the date expected of him due to ill health.
The North Central Group asked the mischief makers to seek for other viable ventures rather than chase shadows as Sen. Godswill Akpabio for the Senate President is an idea whose time has come.
