Sen. Godswill Akpabio, the former governor of Akwa Ibom State, may have abandoned his plans to compete for Senate President of the 10th National Assembly, according to strong indications that have surfaced.<\/p>\n

In order to return to the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs or the Petroleum Resources Ministry, Akpabio reportedly chose to pursue a ministerial job in the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu<\/a> administration.<\/p>\n

Remember that Akpabio, a former Senate Minority Leader, resigned from his position as Niger Delta Affairs Minister from the current administration in accordance with section 84 (12) of the Electoral Act of 2022 in order to run in the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary.<\/p>\n

Reliable sources told Vanguard that Akpabio dropped his Senate Presidency ambition because of the decision of the ruling APC to zone the position to the South-East, with an announcement for the zoning arrangements of all the presiding and principal offices both in the Senate and the House expected soon.<\/p>\n

Some of the contenders for the President of the Senate included a former Governor of Abia State and current Chief Whip, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, Senators Jibrin Barau (APC, Kano North); Sani Musa (APC, Niger East), Ali Ndume (APC, Borno South).<\/p>\n

Also speculated to be on the list against the ranking standing rule are the former Governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari (APC, Zamfara West); the outgoing Governor of Ebonyi State, Engr. David Umahi (APC, Ebonyi South), and a former Governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole (APC, Edo North).<\/p>\n

Lobbying Tinubu<\/h3>\n

But Akpabio has reportedly told his loyalists and aides\u00a0to tone down their campaign for his senate presidential ambition in the media to soften the ground to achieve his ministerial reappointment in Tinubu\u2019s cabinet.<\/p>\n

According to a source, Akpabio has begun reaching out to Tinubu directly to lobby for a ministerial slot.<\/p>\n

The source said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

To avoid losing out, Akpabio has since begun reaching out to Bola Tinubu personally and through his allies to return to any of the plum ministries which appears to be more favourable to the former two-time Governor when compared to the Senate President position.<\/em><\/p>\n

His chances are very dim, and he knows this, our Party and the President-Elect are committed to forming a Government of National unity and quell restiveness in geo-political zones in the country, beginning with the Southeast by giving them the opportunity to produce the next Senate President.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
