Reacting, Senator Akpabio thanked the governor and his colleagues for their support and he promised to carry every part of the country along irrespective of party affiliation, saying, “The 10th Senate must work for the progress of this country. The 10th Senate will strive to bring back smiles on the faces of Nigerians.”
