Senate President Godswill Akpabio has said he regretted contesting against President Bola Tinubu during the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary.
Akpabio stated that he and other presidential
aspirants would not have contested the APC presidential ticket if they had
known about his plan to move the country forward sooner.
The former Governor of Akwa Ibom State noted
that Lagos had been a development model for states in Nigeria, adding that the
man that did the framework can also do it for Nigeria.
Speaking on Thursday at a reception in
Tinubu’s honour by the Lagos state government, the Senate President said the
president’s few decisions catalyzed the country’s growth.
The former Minister of Niger Delta reiterated
his promise to work with the executive arm of the government to ensure that
Nigerians enjoy the dividends of democracy.
He said: “With what the president has done in
Lagos, we are assured that Nigeria is in safe hands.
“We didn’t know this was the plan you had for
the country; we wouldn’t have contested with you at the party primaries.
“These few decisions you have taken have
served as a catalyst for the country’s development.”
