Senate President Godswill Akpabio has stated that lawmakers are not elected to engage in confrontation with the Executive arm of government, but rather to support policies that drive national development.
Akpabio made this remark in an upcoming documentary commemorating the second anniversary of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
“When elected into the National Assembly—whether in the Senate or the House of Representatives—your constituents don’t give you boxing gloves. It’s not a boxing tournament,” he said. “You are there to work in a bipartisan manner in the interest of Nigeria.”
He highlighted the cordial relationship between the Legislature and the Executive over the past two years, attributing it to a shared commitment to national progress.
“If you spend all your energy fighting the Executive, who will work for Nigeria?” he asked.
