PROGRESSIVE PULL OF AKPABIO, UMEH, ABARIBE
A collaboration of progressive minds promises to make a difference, reckons IFEANYICHUKWU AFUBA A man stung silly by bees runs at the sight of a humming fly. This Igbo proverb helps
The 10th National Assembly of Nigeria has witnessed a shift in Senate leadership that has garnered attention, according to IFEANYICHUKWU AFUBA. This change comes as a result of citizens' growing skepticism towards government officials, often viewing them as "tourists" or "thieves." However, the story highlights a few individuals who stand out for their positive contributions to governance.
Senator Godswill Akpabio, the Senate President, has demonstrated a willingness to work cooperatively with the executive branch, which is especially important for a nation grappling with issues of nationhood. Akpabio's approach has been characterized by a preference for partnership over competition, and he has shown appreciation for the efforts of Senators Victor Umeh and Enyinnaya Abaribe in advocating for the interests of the southeast region.
Umeh and Abaribe have been vocal in their opposition to the exclusion of a southeast representative from the board of the National Communication Commission (NCC). Their actions have led to the inclusion of Engr Ikechukwu Ugwuegede as the southeast representative on the board, which is seen as a win for governance and fair representation. Akpabio commended the two senators for their courage and diligence in championing the interests of the southeast.
