Akpabio Claims Paid Attacks on Tinubu, Urges Youth Mobilization

Godswill Akpabio, the President of the Senate, alleged that individuals attacking President Bola Tinubu and his supporters on social media are being compensated for their actions. He made this statement on Wednesday during a courtesy visit from the Arewa Revival Project, a northern youth group led by coordinator Mustafa Ibrahim.

The group presented Akpabio with an award for his contributions to nation-building. Akpabio called on the youth to enhance grassroots mobilization for Tinubu's re-election in 2027, emphasizing the importance of continuity in governance.

He defended Tinubu's economic policies, including tax reforms aimed at diversifying Nigeria's economy away from crude oil dependence. Akpabio urged the youth to rise above social media propaganda, asserting that the current administration has achieved significant development since independence.

He encouraged the youth to engage with their communities to counteract misinformation and support the government's initiatives.
