The president of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has said that the Senate will tinker with the constitution to allow the Supreme Court’s Judgment on local government autonomy to be implemented.

Akpabio stated this yesterday when he received members of the All Progressives Congress APC in Akwa Ibom State, loyal to the erstwhile Interim National Secretary of the party, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe, in Uyo.

A statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media, Jackson Udom, quoted Akpabio saying, “ I thank President Bola Tinubu for looking for a way to bring the all needed autonomy to the local governments through the intervention of the Supreme Court. The Senate, under my leadership, will tinker with the constitution to ensure that the judgment is fully implemented without any loopholes for manipulation by the practitioners.”

It would be recalled that the former APC scribe had defected to the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) after losing out on the leadership of the party.

Speaking further on the return of the party members, Akpabio said, “The only thing that is permanent in life is change. Before I entered the APC, the party had never won a councillor seat in the state, and when I went into the party in 2018, the leaders saw me as an enemy.

“During the 2019 elections, the APC worked against the APC. We had the best chance to have won the governorship and other elections in the state, but the then-leaders refused to see it from that angle.

“ I joined the APC so that we would be linked to the centre, and I thank God today that that dream finally came to pass in 2023. Today, I am the President of the Senate, through the grace of God Almighty, with the support of President Bola Tinubu and my distinguished colleagues who elected me.

“God knew that I meant well for our people, so he elevated me to the President of the Senate. When you raise people, your hands remain up; when you bring people down, your hands will also be down. So follow the person who knows the road.”

“On behalf of the party leadership, I welcome you back. I am happy that you have all returned to the party where you belonged. Now that you are back, May God bless you and grant the progressive desires of your hearts.” he prayed.

Speaking on behalf of the returnees, who said they never left the party, even though their leader left, Eteubong Alex Umoh, Obong Kufre Akpan and Mrs Roseline Eyang noted,” We never left the APC. We never joined any other party because we know you as the party’s leader in the state. We all recognise the President of the Senate as our leader in the state. We refused to be weapons of war in the hands of anybody against you and the party leadership.

“We are happy that we are all here today. The APC has no division because we are now one united family.”
