Akpabio Urges Nigerians to Hold Lawmakers Accountable

On Tuesday, Godswill Akpabio, the President of the Nigerian Senate, called on Nigerians to hold their elected representatives accountable and engage actively in legislative issues that affect their communities. During his address, he stressed that democracy thrives when citizens participate meaningfully in the legislative process.

Akpabio highlighted the importance of citizen engagement in democracy, noting that lawmakers must represent the interests and concerns of the people. He described the Senate as a workshop for solutions rather than a mere arena for political debate.

Akpabio also pointed out the significance of the national budget as a reflection of the country's development priorities. He urged lawmakers to remain focused on delivering solutions that strengthen institutions and improve the lives of citizens.

The Senate is expected to resume legislative activities, including discussions on the 2026 appropriation bill and constitutional amendments, which are crucial for shaping Nigeria's governance landscape.
