According to Umahi: “Let it not be as if we are in opposition all the time.
“Politics is all about dialogue; give and take. Since we did not get that, we will get something else that is very tangible”.
Umahi also disclosed that most Senators-elect are behind Godswill Akpabio emerging as the next Senate President.
“I am not yet a senator, but if you say senators-elect, the majority of them I know are with Akpabio, and I am Akpabio’s campaign coordinator,” he added.
Recall that Umahi had stepped down for Akpabio as the race for the Senate President heats up.
The All Progressives Congress, APC, in an attempt to pave the way for Akpabio, zoned the Senate Presidency to the South-south.
