Congrats to Akpabio.

Favourchris:
The fact that youth are not worried about people of questionable character holding highest offices in the country speak a lot about us ..

Majority of us are corrupt by default … is in our blood….

Madam, leave this grammar and congratulate the Mighty Akpabio.

Flangelo12:
The man really suffered.

To think he was one of the best governors in his time, yet people dislike him.

Maybe they know something we don't know sha.

He left PDP, that's what happened. Once you leave PDP in SS or SE, they hate you more than devil. It's changing a bit in the SS now. Hopefully, with good governance from the Federal, it'll change more and probably reach SE because that SE hatred na follow come from hell.

People like u are the problem… u see corruption as a badge of honor, funny enough una expect the country to get better… una Dey dream…

RockHard:
Congrats to him, Nigeria, and Akwa Ibom/SS people. Akwa-Ibom Ayaya!

Presidency goes to SS when next it's coming South.

GeneralPula:

Not only you..

Many headless mob castigated him when he decamped from Pdp! They said he’s political career has ended! All sort of rubbish!

Today, he’s the Sp..

Headless mob aside, the South South is a PDP stronghold. Anyone defecting to APC there as at 2018 was taking a big big risk.(No, was basically committing political suicide). And for a while it looked like he had made a mistake...he could not win his state for APC, and just barely managed to hold on to his seat in the senate (even facing off internal challenges that looked like it would unseat him).

HeavenlyHolines:
Nigeria is a very strong country oo and Nigerians are quick to support mediocrity. Imagine placing religion over competencies because the president and vice are Muslims so the senate president should be a Christian. I don't understand the rationale behind this. Imagine Akpabio who almost crippled NDDC with corruption is coming out to be the Senate President. I weep for Nigeria and Nigeria

One of the most useless comments ever seen today, which politician for ur state better pass Akpabio… Una d ment atimes oh, Nobody for ur family good pass Akpabio sef

Rubber stamp

This is not about Tinubu, you people should stop the asslicking.

The moment the party chose Akpabio, and being a former PDP member and also a Christian, it was clear he has the higher probability of winning.


Had it been Yari is a Christian, it would have been a different case.

PastorFire4Fire:
Gradually, North influence on power is being cut down. Remaining agency chiefs.

Respect Tinubu.

Congrats sir!!

And Yari is from Heaven right? We need people that will work and change Nigeria for better, not people that only know how to complain and can't point to tangible achievements. Akpabio was governor about a decade ago. Even the blind knows he was the uncommon governor.

OGHENAOGIE:
anyone expecting Yari to win is like expecting LP with Obi to beat APC and PDP... Yari wasn't popular Amongst colleagues like Akpabio... Just like Lawan couldn't have beaten saraki in 2015

Yari really tried to get 46.it means almost all opposition voted him.

Zico5:
The truth of the matter is that the president of Nigeria is too powerful. He gets whatever he wants. I know Akpabio will be the senate president so far he is supported by Tinubu. For those people still looking for their manhood. They are on the long run. I just pray they begin to mend fences as earlier as possible. North no dey joke when it comes to election. If you fail in the North, you have lost already.

Ancient and illogical Believe. CORE Norths only have Two Zones, how will a person fail if he or she losses 2 zones out of 6.
The 46 votes gotten by Yari was given by his Northern Brothers and who ever they were easy to manipulate.

Jagaban as the Joker at hand. The card winner

Please tell the obi families make Dem hear and stop shouting they stop their mandate that didn't pass east

Okwyjesus:


South East deal made the difference.

Thanks to Hope Uzodinma

I think so.the last minute stepping down of ouk,izunaso,endorsement from abaribe,ezenya,ubah made it.but if ouk and izunaso had contested,the margin would be same

mancoconut:

Had nothing to do with any Tinubu's so called "genius", it was only logical and expected that Akpabio would emerge as SP given the circumstance of a Muslim/Muslim ruling ticket, no dey buga over nothing, even the Northern senators largely voted for Akpabio.

Says who?

You have no idea the politicking that went behind the scene.

If Tinubu had been like Buhari, Yari might have won.

Big risk, big win bro..

He fought and won like a typical Niger Delta!

My dear, if you live in a sane country, you will understand how things work.

Why are you laughing?

As the party's choice, he will be more popular within his party.
As a former PDP member, he will still have common ground with the PDP senators.
As a Christian, he will be more favoured when balance is being discussed as a major requirement in choosing the SP.

This is common sense oga. Don't get me wrong, it is not as if I like his choice of sp.

Had it been there's another christian contesting then it would have been better but his strongest opponent is a Muslim and it won't be nice to sideline others(religion) in every arm of government.

But Senate President no concern Obidients apc can even give to shekau for all we care

When Yari time comes he will emerge but for now let celebrate Akpabio.

Justiceleague1:

Mallam stop pretending,you are really not happy Akpabio beat ya mallamus brother
