Senator Godswill Akpabio, the President of the Nigerian Senate, has stated that he feels a sense of accomplishment whenever the opposition reacts with frustration to laws passed by the Senate.
Akpabio made these remarks on Saturday in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, during a reception held in honor of Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
He explained that, in his view, the opposition’s anger serves as a clear indicator that the Senate has enacted the correct legislation.
GoNews had reported that Akpabio has said opposition parties in Nigeria will remain in confusion until the 2027 general elections are concluded.
Furthermore, he asserted that any opposition figures who are currently threatening to stay away from the 2027 presidential election are simply unprepared for the political battle ahead.
He said, “Each time we make a law and the opposition frowns, I get excited that I’ve made the right law”.
“Yesterday I saw one man shouting on TV because of the Amended Electoral Act, saying we’re likely to boycott elections.
“My response was tell the truth, you’re boycotting the elections because you’re not ready. If you are ready you won’t boycott.”
