‘He has outstanding leadership qualities’ — Tinubu celebrates Akpabio at 61
President Bola Tinubu has praised Senate President Godswill Akpabio on his 61st birthday.
In a statement on Friday, Ajuri Ngelale, presidential spokesperson, quoted Tinubu as describing Akpabio as a political leader whose “antecedents and achievements continued to attract recognition at home and abroad”.
“Tinubu affirmed the outstanding leadership qualities of the former Governor of Akwa Ibom and Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, who became a Governor at 45 after serving as a Commissioner in three different ministries,” Ngelale said.
“He appreciated the loyalty, dedication, and commitment the senate president has demonstrated over time, with measurable and lasting legacies to show for his time in various offices.
“The president said Akpabio’s achievements were most significantly exemplified by the uncommon transformation of Akwa Ibom into one of the most vibrant and frontline states in the country.
“As the senate president turns 61 on Saturday, Tinubu wished the chairman of the national assembly, whose service to the nation continued to inspire patriotism, many happy returns.”
The president prayed that God would continue to bless Akpabio and his family.
