Godswill Akpabio

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has expressed confidence that 2026 will be a year of renewed hope and steady national progress. He recently had his say via his New Year message, signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Hon. Eseme Eyiboh, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he acknowledges the resilience of Nigerians throughout 2025, and he assures citizens that the Senate will keep sustaining democratic stability, promoting accountability and advancing Nigeria’s development agenda.

Akpabio added that he is optimistic that ongoing efforts to address insecurity, economic pressures, infrastructure gaps and youth unemployment would yield more visible results in 2026.

His words, “As we enter the year 2026, I extend my warm wishes to Nigerians for a peaceful and fulfilling year. I commend the resilience, patience, and civic maturity of our people, even in challenging times.

The Senate and the entire National Assembly will continue to discharge their duties with diligence—providing legislative support where necessary, exercising oversight where required, and always acting in the best interest of national unity, economic stability, and social justice.

Our democracy is strengthened when institutions function properly and leaders remain accountable. The National Assembly will continue to work to strengthen these institutions and to ensure that public policy is people-centred and forward-looking.

As political activities intensify, Nigerians must remain discerning. History has shown that those who present themselves as sole rescuers often deepen division rather than heal it. Democracy thrives on ideas, responsibility, and respect for national unity—not inflammatory rhetoric or deception.

The National Assembly remains committed to constructive engagement with the Executive, the Judiciary, and all stakeholders, to build a more united, just, and prosperous Nigeria where leadership is defined by service and institutions outlive individuals.

I urge Nigerians to continue to support democratic institutions and to work collectively for peace, equity, and national progress.

On behalf of my family, my constituents, the Senate, and the entire National Assembly, I wish all Nigerians a peaceful celebration and a prosperous 2026.”

WOW.
