I am somebody God has given the opportunity to be an uncommon transformer wherever I go. I will not like to be judged by ministerial appointment for Niger Delta, which everybody knows is a problematic place. But I would like to be judged by my record as a lawyer of 36 years, Commissioner of six years and a governor of eight years\u201d, Akpabio told journalists.<\/p>\n<p>He promised that if elected Senate President, Nigerians he would sustain the January-December budget cycle initiated by the 9th National Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the introduction of the January-December budget cycle was one of the major success stories of the outgoing Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>Akpabio said, \u201cIf given the opportunity by my colleagues to lead the 10th Assembly, one of the programmes I will like to sustain would be the January to December budget cycle<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Introduction of that is what I commend the 9th National Assembly for very seriously because it allows for proper planning and allows the government to take off on a good note and also help bring about foreign direct investment into the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I think that will be sustained by the 10th Senate and that is whether I am Senate President or not. I believe working with my colleagues, we shall sustain it, because it is a collective idea. Everybody is important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also explained his relationship with some of his colleagues opposing his ambition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the issue of whether somebody is supportive or not, that is not the issue. The issue is that we must continue to engage. God has put us together for the next four years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must continue to speak to people so that whatever perception they have which are really not correct about me will be totally debunked\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Godswill Akpabio, a former governor of Akwa Ibom State, has urged Nigerians and the incoming 10th National Assembly not to judge him based on his brief time serving as the minister of Niger Delta Affairs.
