Co-ordinator as well as coordinators in other states of the region and the FCT, the women expressed confidence in the ability the Senate President to partner with the Executive to deliver good governance.

“We the leaders and members of the above nonpartisan and non-government association hereby state that we are impressed with the current leadership of the 10th Senate under the transparent leadership of Senator Godswill Akpabio.

“We also call on the generality of Nigerians particularly our women to rally round the current leadership in their avowed commitment to making life meaningful and bearable to Nigerians through human faced legislation.

“Our women and children are very impressed with the intervention of the Senate Leadership in the NLC, TUC and NARD crises which led to the resolution of the crises. Not forgetting their stoppage of the planned increase in electricity tariff by DISCOS.

“We condemn plans by some sponsored groups in the south or any part of the country to call for the resignation of the President of the Senate on a matter that the Senate bureaucracy led by the Clerk of the National Assembly has come out to state that the money was the running cost of the Senators and appropriated for in 2023 budget.
