FULL LIST: Akpabio Vs Yari: How Senators Voted In Senate Presidency Contest by 9jaBlogger: 12:07pm On Jun 15, 2023
The Senate on Tuesday, June 13 elected Senator Godswill Akpabio as President of the Senate, in an election held at the National Assembly Complex following the inauguration of the 10th National Assembly.

He defeated Abdulaziz Yari, a former Zamfara governor and his only rival in the contest. Both contestants are members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Akpabio, a former Akwa-Ibom governor and ex-Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, polled 63, the highest votes cast to emerge the nation’s number three man. Yari got 46.

Earlier, Senator Ali Ndume nominated Godswill Akpabio for the position, while Senator Elisha Abbo nominated Abdulaziz Yari.

The Senate adopted the open-secret voting procedure, with the Clark of the National Assembly calling out senators-elect based on alphabetical order of their states.

Meanwhile, METROWATCH has obtained a list showing how the 109 Senators across the country voted for either Akpabio or Yari.

I know the North will queue behind Yari, they are Power intoxicated.

As far as someone from the South is the Senate President of Nigeria , we are happy with it. We don't want anyone from the North anymore.

Buhari will be the last president from the North, no one from the North will ever rule Nigeria again. Take it to the Bank.

The South has taken over
