George Akume
Candidacy of Senator George Akume
for senate presidency got more endorsement yesterday by a youths group of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) called League of Patriotic and Progressive
Youths (LPPY).
At a press conference in Abuja, the
group insisted that Akume who is also the Minority leader of the senate was the
right man for the job.
The leader of the group, Dominic
Alancha who spoke on behalf of the group, said that Akume possessed the
credentials as former governor of Benue State, two terms senator and proven
leader in the outgoing 7th National Assembly to leader the incoming 8th
Assembly as president.
He added that Akume’s leadership
finesse also helped to nurture APC to the height it is now.
“We call on Akume to throw his hat
into the ring by contesting for the elevated office of Senate President. The
8th National Assembly needs a leader whose predegree is distinguished. Our call
is not made in tepid kneel-jerk reaction to the unfolding political scenario,
but rather, ours is based on detailed analysis and historical understanding of
events.
“Nigeria’s political revolution
calls for men and women of great understanding, sagacity, insight and
conviction to be at the driving seat at this particular time. This is is no
time to experiment with trial and error. It is time to elevate men and women of
conviction, industry, national acceptability and proven track record to stand
guard at critical organs of government,” Alancha explained.
