Barely 24 hours after meeting with the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Working Committee, the Stability Group working to promote the Senators Godswill Akpabio-Barau Jibrin ticket for the leadership of the 10th Senate visited the national secretariats of two political parties in Abuja on Wednesday: the New Nigerian People’s Party (NNPP) and the Labour Party (LP).
Addressing the National Working Committee of the NNPP led by its acting national chairman, Abba-Kawu Ali, Senator Akpabio said the Stability Group was determined to secure the support of leadership of the opposition parties ahead of June 13 inauguration.
He said: “Membership of the Stability Group cuts across party lines and we are doing extensive consultations. We have never had a situation where we have 8 political parties like we are going to have in the 10th National Assembly.
In the House, we are blind to party affiliations and that’s why we are moving to meet our leaders. I thank you for receiving us. I want to thank your national leader, Kwankwaso for the meeting he is having with our President-elect, Bola Tinubu and I hope the meeting will be fruitful, for the progress of the nation.”
Senator representing Borno South and Director-General of the Akpabio Campaign Organisation, Ali Ndume said his Group has secured signatures of 69 members backing the aspiration of Senators Akpabio- Jubrin ticket.
He said: “We want you to support this stability group. We have 69 who have signed. It isn’t about Akpabio or Jibrin. What the country needs now is stability and that’s why we called the group Stability Group.”
