The Global Peace Movement International, UK has called for the emergence of Sen. Godswill Akpabio as the Senate President in the 10th National Assembly.
This is deepening the country’s democracy, said GPMI.
President General of the group, Dr. Mike Uyi, made the appeal in a statement issued in London on Wednesday.
He described Akpabio as a strong contender in the race for the Senate presidency.
Uyi said Sen. Akpabio is not only the most qualified for the office of the Senate President but committed to national development compared to other aspirants in the race.
According to him, the party’s leadership should without hesitation consider Akpabio as Senate President for credibility.
“Senator Akpabio is not only known as an old honey in the Executive leadership of Nigeria and to a very large extent, he is also a leader who naturally commands respect.
“Harping on national interests of peace, stability and unity, Senator Akpabio should be appointed with the position of the Senate President.
“But most importantly because of his wealth of experience in the Senate, leadership skills and good relationships with all parts of the country spread across all the state capitals of the federation.
“And in recognition for his Parliamentary leadership prowess, and for his awe-inspiring ability to manage people of all ages, social and political strata,” he said.
However, Uyi described Sen. Akpabio as a leader who is not only widely respected by the political leadership of Nigeria, but on collective prosperity and consultative leadership.
