Senate President Godswill Akpabio says preparations for the 2027 elections will not stop or disrupt members of the National Assembly from carrying out their legislative duties. He frames the election campaign period as something that will not interfere with the work of the Senate and the broader legislature.
Akpabio makes the remarks in public comments reported by multiple outlets. Daily Post Nigeria notes he speaks to journalists after attending a meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the presidential wing of Victor Attah International Airport in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. Vanguard and The Punch report the same core message, presenting it as an assurance to Nigerians that legislative responsibilities will continue during the campaign season.
Across the reports, the main difference lies in where and how the statement is delivered and described, but all cite Akpabio’s position that electioneering does not change the National Assembly’s duty to legislate.
