Speaker Abbas expressed delight in the fact that Distinguished Senator Akpabio shares the same vision of prosperity for Nigeria and its citizens.

The Speaker noted that the Senate President has achieved so much politically within a short time, having been governor of Akwa Ibom State for two terms, member of the Senate, Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, and now the President of the Senate.

He said Senator Akpabio remains a democrat and a patriot, who should be celebrated by all well-meaning Nigerians on the occasion of his 61st birthday.
