Senate President Godswill Akpabio reassured President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima on Saturday that the 10th National Assembly would work closely with them to take the country to “harbours of bliss and development.”
“We know that the executive arm is steering our country through turbulent waters,” Sen Akpabio addressed the leadership of the 10th National Assembly at the retreat in Aiwa Ibom.
Drawing an analogy to sailing, Akpabio noted that the measure of a great sailor is not how well they perform in calm waters, but how well they navigate through rough seas.
He added that the successful steering of the country through the nation’s rolling waves and storms would be the hallmark of the President’s administration.

“As leaders let us see every problem through the broad windscreen of national interest; not through the tiny side mirror of politics,” he said.
