The race for Senate President of the 10th Assembly entered a new phase on Monday as the Northern Elders Forum rejected Godswill Akpabio, the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, preferred aspirant carpeting Vice President, Kashim Shettima for what it called “imposition” and “unfortunate” comments.
Akpabio, who served in the administration of Muhammadu Buhari as Minister of Niger Delta Affairs decamped from the PDP after serving as Governor for 8 years and Senate Minority Leader.
