Congrats to Senator Godswill Akpabio. My message to him: he should not see the victory as a regional victory but for the country as a whole.
I wish him all the best.

I want to believe it is all about competency this time rather than tribe because we have seen the repercussions for ages that didn’t play out well.
Let there be a change this time and let us see from there. Let’s not forget that it was plainly by votes and not hand picked 📌
