Akpabio said that democracy can only thrive through meaningful citizen participation in the legislative process..
President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, on Tuesday called on Nigerians to actively engage their elected representatives and demand accountability.
Akpabio made the call while delivering his address at the resumption of plenary in the Senate following a brief adjournment that enabled committees to undertake legislative assignments.
He described the Senate as a “workshop of solutions” rather than merely a platform for political debates.
The senate president urged citizens to channel their concerns through democratic institutions by engaging lawmakers directly.
Akpabio acknowledged the growing influence of social media in shaping national conversations but maintained that legislative procedures remain essential for converting public sentiment into enforceable policy decisions.
He concluded by urging lawmakers to maintain unity despite political differences.
