Abbas Greets Senate President At 61

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas has congratulated the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Obot Akpabio, as he clocks 61 on Saturday.

Abbas, in his congratulatory message, described Senator Akpabio as a dependable and uncommon ally at the 10th National Assembly.

He expressed delight in the fact that Akpabio shares the same vision of prosperity for Nigeria and its citizens.

The Speaker noted that the Senate President has achieved so much politically within a short time, having been governor of Akwa Ibom state for two terms, member of the Senate, Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, and now the President of the Senate.

He said Senator Akpabio remains a democrat and a patriot, who should be celebrated by all well-meaning Nigerians on the occasion of his 61st birthday.

Speaker Abbas also noted that Senate Akpabio has contributed immensely to the growth of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The speaker prayed to God to grant Senate President Akpabio a long life, good health, and more wisdom to successfully manage the affairs of the 10th National Assembly.
