The two senators-elect of the platform of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) have endorsed Godswill Akpabio for election as the next senate president.
The senators-elect, Godiya Akwashiki and Ahmed Wadada, will represent Nasarawa North and Nasarawa West districts respectively in the incoming Senate.
The endorsement is coming barely 24 hours after the Akpabio/Barau campaign team approached leaders of some opposition parties for their support.
Mr Akpabio, a former governor of Akwa Ibom State and former Minister of Niger Delta, is the official choice of the president-elect, Bola Tinubu in the race for the seat.
