Senate President Godswill Akpabio Declares National Assembly 2000% Behind President Tinubu.

Lagos – April 8, 2026

The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has declared that the National Assembly is “2000 percent” in support of President Bola Tinubu, describing the president as a visionary leader on a mission to transform Nigeria.

Akpabio made the remark while representing President Tinubu at the inauguration of the Ojota-Opebi Link Bridge, the E-GIS project, and the Alausa Complex in Lagos on Wednesday.

He said: “Tinubu is not just a visioner or a man on a mission, he is a man that is out to fulfill his purpose on earth for this country and in doing so we are very proud of him in the National Assembly.

“We are 2000 percent behind him and we will make sure that your son returns a hero after he has delivered the dividends of democracy to Nigeria.”

Akpabio added that he cancelled an important engagement to attend the event at the request of the president.

“I was meant to present a speech before the crowned prince of Morocco this night but I’m being represented. When Mr President called me and said you must represent me, I had to cancel that engagement and I came here.

“That is the presidency and that is your son, you must be proud of him. Having said that I’m delighted of the wonders here,” he stated.

The Senate President’s strong endorsement underscores the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership’s solid backing for President Tinubu as the administration approaches the midpoint of its four-year term.

The inauguration of the Ojota-Opebi Link Bridge and associated projects is part of ongoing infrastructure developments in Lagos aimed at easing traffic and improving connectivity in the state.
