Senate President Godswill Akpabio says reports claiming he assured lawmakers of senatorial tickets are false.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio has denied reports alleging that he promised senatorial tickets to lawmakers who lost during the All Progressives Congress primaries.
Akpabio dismissed the claims while addressing reports circulating around the outcome of the party’s internal political process.
The clarification comes amid continuing political conversations surrounding party nominations and the positioning of lawmakers ahead of future electoral contests.
By publicly rejecting the reports, the Senate President appears to be distancing himself from suggestions of political assurances tied to the APC primary process.
Although details surrounding the origin of the claims were not outlined, Akpabio insisted that no such promises were made to senators affected by the primaries.
The statement places attention once again on internal party dynamics and the heightened political sensitivity often associated with candidate selection within Nigeria’s ruling party.
No further details were immediately provided beyond the denial issued by the Senate President.
