George Akume denies nursing Senate Presidential Ambition
The Minority Leader of the Senate, George Akume, has disclosed that he has no interest in becoming the next Senate President.
Akume released a statement via his media aide, Beckie Orpin, saying that he has no time to vie for the position at the moment and also denied meeting with the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, over his supposed ambition.
He said, “For the avoidance of doubt, Senator Akume along with other senators-elect received the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, at the ongoing 8th National Assembly retreat at the International Conference Centre, Abuja in the morning of April 29.
“The Senate minority leader later held other meetings with colleagues up till the early hours of Thursday. The Senate minority leader is not pre-occupied with positions for now but rather, he is conferring with his colleagues on the need to work for the betterment of the lives of the good people of Nigeria and to have a vibrant National Assembly.”
