Senate President Godswill Akpabio has commended the special adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Senate matters, Bashir Mohammed, and said that communication between the presidency and the Senate has not been leaked to the press or public.

Mr Akpabio stated this on Thursday in the office of the special adviser, describing his performance as unprecedented in making communication between the Senate and Mr Tinubu easy.

“Let me put on record that since Mohammed’s assumption of office as special adviser to Tinubu on National Assembly (Senate matters), we have not had a single leakage of private communication between the presidency and the Senate.

“We have not had a single incidence of leakage. Because in government, that’s what we call the right to know. 

“Then, of course, where government business is done on pages of newspapers and on social media through leakages of information, it negatively rubs on national security,” said Mr Akpabio.

The politician added, “Ahead of the 2027 general elections with the deputy president of the Senate, the national chairman of APC, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje and your strategic self, Kano is already in the kitty of APC.”

Mr Mohammed said in Mr Akpabio that the president had found a dependable ally who understands the delicate art of governance and the importance of cooperation over confrontation.

“Your presence here is not only symbolic of the harmony between the executive and the legislature; it is a testament to the power of unity, the strength of shared vision and the boundless possibilities when leadership is anchored on service.

“Permit me to especially commend your steadfast and visible support for President Tinubu.

“You have not merely walked alongside the President; you have championed his Renewed Hope Agenda with conviction, defending it with clarity, articulating it with passion and advancing it through legislative action,” he said.
