Senate President Godswill Akpabio has expressed his appreciation for the work of Bashir Mohammed, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Senate matters. Akpabio commended Mohammed for ensuring the confidentiality of communications between the presidency and the Senate, a feat he described as unprecedented. This commendation occurred during a visit to Mohammed's office, where Akpabio highlighted the importance of maintaining secure lines of communication for national security and effective governance.

Akpabio emphasized that since Mohammed assumed his role, there have been no instances of leaked private communication between the executive and the legislative branches. He noted that such leaks could negatively impact national security, underscoring the importance of Mohammed's work in upholding governmental integrity and the principle of separation of powers. Akpabio also praised Mohammed's overall performance in the past eight months, stating that he has transformed the office and fostered a more robust and rewarding synergy between the executive and legislature.

Akpabio further acknowledged Mohammed's diligence in tracking bills passed by the Senate and those assented to by the President, recognizing his excellence and style in executing his duties. Looking ahead to the 2027 general elections, Akpabio suggested that with the combined efforts of Mohammed, the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau Jibrin, and the National Chairman of the APC, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, Kano State is likely to be secured for the APC.

In response, Mohammed expressed his gratitude for Akpabio's visit and acknowledged Akpabio's role as a dependable ally to President Tinubu. He lauded Akpabio's understanding of governance and the importance of cooperation between the executive and legislative branches. Mohammed also commended Akpabio for his steadfast support of President Tinubu and his commitment to the Renewed Hope Agenda, which he has championed through legislative action.

The event underscored the harmonious relationship between the executive and legislative branches of the Nigerian government and highlighted the importance of collaboration in achieving shared goals. Both Akpabio and Mohammed emphasized the significance of unity and service in leadership, reinforcing their commitment to advancing the interests of the Nigerian people.

In related news, the performance of Senator Basheer Lado in the last eight months was also lauded. Godswill Akpabio noted the absence of presidential communications to the Senate during this period, also acknowledging Lado’s performance in ensuring seamless communication between the Senate and President Tinubu. Akpabio stated that Kano is already in the kitty of the APC ahead of the 2027 general elections, thanks to Lado, Senator Barau Jibrin, and Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
