Senate Minority Leader, George Akume, says he is not interested in becoming the next Senate President.
Akume has also denied having a meeting with
the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, over
his purported ambition.
The Senator stated that he has no time in
gunning for any position at the moment, as he was busy attending to
pressing national issues.
In a statement by his media aide, Beckie
Orpin, the former governor of venue state said there was no meeting
between himself and Tinubu on Tuesday, rather he attended the 8th
National Assembly retreat and later held meetings with his colleagues in
Abuja.
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.
