The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, on Wednesday declared that he is a Lagosian like President Bola Tinubu.
Akpabio made the disclosure during the inauguration of
Ojota-Opebi link bridge, E-GIS, and Alausa complex in Lagos.
Representing Tinubu at the event, Akpabio recalled how he
spent his early years in Lagos as a young Corps member.
He said: “You wonder why the Senate President came to
represent the president in Lagos. It’s because the Senate President himself is
a Lagosian. I lived right behind Bourdillion and I have been there for 30
years, I worked at Ajose as one of the directors of the telecom companies.
“I practiced law in Lagos from the day I became a young
lawyer from the days of my youth Corps, I was on Lion building. I know Opebi, I
knew Allen and I’m in a position to testify to the transformation of Lagos.
“So the President called me and why is he the President? He
is not the President of the military but a civilian President of the democracy
he fought for all his life. And who represents that democracy, it’s the
Chairman of the National Assembly.”
