I wasn’t part of Saraki’s senate, it funded only 40% of constituency projects— Akpabio
Senate President Godswill Akpabio says he was not part of
the red chamber led by Bukola Saraki, though he was the minority leader at the
time.
Saraki presided over the eighth session of the senate
between 2015 and 2019.
Akpabio, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
held the position until he defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on
the eve of the 2019 elections.
Reacting to a comment by Ali Ndume, chief whip of the red
chamber, on Wednesday, Akpabio said he was a member of the “Nigerian senate”.
