The Senate President of Nigeria, Dr Ahmed Lawan, has appealed to Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel, to join the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He made the appeal on Saturday in Uyo during the thanksgiving Service and inauguration of 1,500 sitting capacity recreational centre built by Senator Bassey Akpan representing Akwa Ibom Northeast senatorial district.
According to Lawan, “Even though we are not in the same political platform, we are waiting for you to come and work with us. We want a champion like you; there is no shame in asking.
“When you see something that is so good, you say that it is so good. We have seen something that is so good; so brilliant. I will come here again because there are so many good things that will happen that will require our presence as well.
Continuing, he described Senator Bassey Albert as a true Nigerian who works for the development of his people and the country in general.
“We are here to thank God for Sen. Akpan for what he has done today, for this multipurpose facility which is not only for sports, but also an educational facility. This facility shows that members of the National Assembly take care of their constituents, and we are proud of the three Senators from this state.
“Senator Akpan has done something that remains indelible in my mind. He never cared about political parties but about the development of the country.”, Lawan added.
