Recall that we earlier reported that Akpabio defeated former Governor of Zamfara State, Senator-elect Abdulaziz Yari, by 63 votes to 46 to emerge Senate President.
While in the House of Representatives, Abbas, who was the preferred candidate of the All Progressives Congress, polled 353 votes, beating his rivals, former Deputy Speaker, Ahmed Wase, and Aminu Jaji, who both secured three votes each.
In a statement he personally signed on Tuesday titled, ‘Now, Let’s Get On With Business Of The People,’ Tinubu congratulated the four lawmakers over their victory, saying it is well deserved.
