A Niger Delta Women Group under the aegis of South South Women Vanguard, SSWV, has criticized calls for the resignation of Senate President, Godswill Obot Akpabio, saying those making those calls are bunch of worthless wimps.
The Group slammed the Niger Delta Women League, NDWL, former Deputy National Spokesman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Timi Frank and other critics of the Senate President as idle talkers, who are bent on tarnishing the image of the former Akwa Ibom State Governor.
In a Statement by the Group signed by one of its leaders, Margaret Ani, it stated, “We must speak out for reason and balance, anyone taking a thoroughly objective look at the views of the Niger Delta Women League, NDWL, has to be dismayed and shocked. All sense of logic and balance has been lost’’.
The statement was issued in Port Harcourt, Rivers State Capital, as the SSWV applauded Akpabio for working towards the common good of the country, putting Nigeria in the right perspective and placing the interests of Nigeria ahead of his own.
‘’Senate President Godswill Akpabio is dedicated, honest and devoutly religious. He understands the country’s problems, has a good grasp of what needs to be done to resolve them and is working to make the necessary changes. Nigerians are turning to him to solve their problems’’.
The women hailed Akpabio for his morals, values and respect for Nigerians, particularly his colleagues.
‘’Desire for perverted materialism and government hand-outs are the two things motivating some traitorous individuals and groups in the country’’ the statement said.
Ani underscored strong leadership, Akpabio’s hatred for greed and corruption.
The Group further described calls for Akpabio’s resignation as foolish and lacking in logic.
‘’Senator Godswill Akpabio is the epitome of success and a stumbling block to the plans of self-interest groups’’ the statement added.
