In less than 24 hours that Bola Tinubu returned to the country, Godswill Akpabio, a former minister and senator-elect, visited the president-elect in what count be considered a new permutation in his bid to become the party’s choice for the senate presidency.
Akpabio visited Tinubu alongside the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Adamu, in videos shared by The Nation and @DOlusegun, a strong supporter of the APC on Twitter on Tuesday, April 25.
Who will APC elect as the next senate president as Akpabio meets Tinubu?
Tinubu, on March 22, travelled out of Nigeria soon after he was declared the winner of the February 25 presidential election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to have some rest in France.
While the president was away, there has been discussion across the media on who the next senate president would be and where the party would zone the seat to.
Akpabio was one of the leading candidates tipped for the position. He will be representing Akwa Ibom North-West in the 10th Senate, and he is from the South-South, one of the 2 regions many political pundits have urged the APC to zone the senate presidency to.
Although details of the meeting between Akpabio, Tinubu and Adamu were not disclosed but could not be unconnected with the trending topic in politics.
