Nigeria's Senate President, Godswill Obot Akpabio on Thursday, said the Senate will tinker with the constitution to allow the Supreme Court Judgement on local government autonomy to stand. He stated this when he received members of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Akwa Ibom State, who were loyal to the erstwhile Interim National Secretary of the party, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe, in Uyo.
We had the best chance to have won the governorship and other elections in the state, but the then-leaders refused to see it from that angle. 'I joined the APC so that we would be linked to the centre and I thank God today that that dream finally came to pass in 2023. I am today the President of the Senate, through the grace of God Almighty, the support of President Bola Tinubu and my distinguished colleagues who elected me.
