We’ll Be Eating While You March, Akpabio To Protesters
The President of the 10th Senate, Godswill Akpabio has advised aggrieved Nigerians who are willing to protest to go ahead, saying “But let us be there eating.”
The Senate President who acknowledged the economic hardship said all Nigerians are feeling the impact of the situation in the country but it’s for a short time.
Speaking at an event organised by the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) in Rivers State, Akpabio, “All of us feel the impact of what is happening now. But we are aware it will be for a short while.
“Those who want to protest can protest, but let us be there eating — I must thank the Niger Delta.
“So in conclusion, we acknowledge the fact that the impact of oil and gas activities in our region has done immeasurable damage to our people.”
He added that the national assembly is ready to help with legislation to curb oil spillage and environmental pollution in the region.
“The specific issues faced by the Niger Delta must be contained in that communique because we are going to make it available to Mr President,” he said.
