Godswill Akpabio, the president of the Senate, has made it clear that he is not speaking for President Bola Tinubu, who is presently in France.
Amidst the controversy surrounding President Tinubu and Vise President Kashim Shettima’s absence from the Aso Rock Villa, Akpabio addressed on Tuesday in Akwa Ibom State.
According to the Afrisearch, Shettima is presently attending the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York, while Tinubu is still on his three-week work holiday.
Akpabio stated that he is still the Senate President and not the acting president of Nigeria in response to the dispute over who is in command of the government at the moment.
Since President Tinubu is still in office, I am the Senate President rather than Nigeria’s acting president. There is no absence in Aso Rock, and he is on a working leave,” Akpabio stated.
The Senate President asserts that he is the “only person who can declare a vacancy and there will be a vacancy.”
There isn’t a vacancy at this time. Nigerian issues are still being managed by Asiwaju Tinubu.
“You can provide instructions via the internet since the globe is a global village. “So why are people complaining?” he said.
