Wednesday, May 21, 2025 - Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has said parliamentarians were not elected to engage in confrontation with the Executive but to foster policies that promote national development.
Akpabio said this in an upcoming documentary to mark two
years of the Bola Tinubu administration.
“When
elected into the National Assembly, whether in the Senate or the House of
Representatives, your constituents will not give you boxing gloves. It’s not a
boxing tournament. You are there to work in a bipartisan manner for the
interest of Nigeria.”
He emphasised that the relationship between both arms of
government had been cordial over the past two years, owing to a shared vision
for the country’s progress.
“If you
spend all your energy fighting the Executive, who will work for Nigeria?” he
asked.
