I Am Not Interfering With Benue Politics – Akpabio

Godswill Akpabio

The President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has said that he does not represent Benue State in the National Assembly. He recently revealed that he has no obligation to intervene in the state’s internal political affairs, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, his role as President of the Senate is national, constitutional and institutional, and he harbours no personal or political dispute with the Governor of Benue State, Rev. Fr. Dr Hyacinth Iormem Alia.

Akpabio added that he has no affiliation with the internal affairs, appointments or activities of any political support group, including those operating under the name Team Akpabio for Tinubu.

His words, “The Office of the President of the Senate has taken note of a statement circulating on social media attributed to one Hon. Aondoaver Nyakuma regarding an alleged appointment within a group known as Team Akpabio for Tinubu.

For the avoidance of doubt, Senator Godswill Obot Akpabio, GCON, has no affiliation with and no operational knowledge of the internal affairs, appointments or activities of any political support group, including Team Akpabio for Tinubu.

Senator Akpabio does not represent Benue State in the National Assembly and has no obligation to intervene in intra-state political matters.

The Office of the President of the Senate therefore urges the public and the media to disregard any statements or narratives that seek to associate him with claims, appointments or grievances arising from private political groups.”

WOW.
