If There’s Nothing In Political Struggle, Don’t Struggle, Akpabio Replies Fubara

Nigeria’s Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, delivered a poignant message to Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State during the funeral of Herbert Wigwe, the former CEO of Access Bank. Fubara had questioned the purpose of political struggles during his speech, prompting Akpabio’s response.

In his address, Fubara pondered the essence of political strife, urging fellow politicians to reflect on their impact on society instead of engaging in power struggles. He highlighted Wigwe’s achievements outside the political arena and emphasized the need for meaningful contributions to society.

In response, Akpabio, while mourning Wigwe’s passing, echoed Fubara’s sentiment, stressing the importance of reevaluating the purpose of political endeavors. He urged Fubara, and by extension, all politicians, to reconsider their actions if they found no substance in their struggles.
