Following the emergence of Godswill Akpabio and Sen. Barau Jibrin as Senate President and Deputy Senate President, the Nigeria Patriotic Elders Forum has urged them to do all they could to carry along everybody in the conduct of the Red Hollow Chamber.
The Forum’s President, Dr. Bature AbdulAziz who made the call in a statement on Tuesday, said despite the fact that some dissenting voices against the elections of Akpabio now are history, he should be as Father regardless of who stood by him.

AbdulAziz noted that there was no gainsaying that the emergence of the Senate President was a top one but be that may be, Godswill Akpabio is now number 3rd Person in the whole of Nigeria, meaning he is a leader for everybody.
Speaking on the recent controversial remarks accredited to the Vice President on electing a Christian Senate President better than electing of through bread Northerner, the Elders believe that the Statement was miscalculated to create bad names for the Vice President.

AbdulAziz hinted that sometimes Nigerians waited patiently for a leader to talk and without recourse to understanding what he was saying they will now change everything against him because of their mischievous thinking of him.
He, therefore, asked the new Leadership of the 10th National Assembly not to be a rubber stamp but at the same time not to stand against the good wishes and policies of the Bola Tinubu administration.

“Nigerians have a lot of expectations on this administration including the National Assembly they shouldn’t operate as enemies or opposition they should work together closely so as to salvage the difficulties citizens are facing”.
The Elders Forum appealed to all Nigerians irrespective of political affiliation to shun the negative tendencies of turning around Leaders’ statements just like what they did to the Vice President in effort to create hate and make him an enemy.
