PANDEF Reacts To Akpabio's Emergence As Senate President

 

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) has extended its congratulations to Senator Godswill Akpabio following his successful election as the President of the 10th Senate of the National Assembly.

EDITOR’S PICKS  

In a statement released in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, PANDEF spokesperson Ken Robinson acknowledged Akpabio’s ascent to the position and emphasized that it contributes to the establishment of a certain degree of balance within the national government.

Being a representative of the South-South geo-political zone, Akpabio’s election is seen as a positive step towards addressing regional representation concerns and ensuring equitable participation in Nigeria’s governance.

While PANDEF acknowledges the significance of Akpabio’s election, the organization also expressed concern over attempts by certain groups and individuals to advocate for a Muslim-Muslim Senate leadership, deeming such efforts both unfortunate and incendiary.

PANDEF emphasizes the importance of inclusivity and diversity in leadership positions, as it fosters a sense of unity and strengthens the fabric of the nation.
