Wike believes that those opposing Akpabio’s candidacy are intentionally obstructing the administration of President Bola Tinubu, potentially causing discord between the executive and legislative branches of government.
In a statement released by his media aide, Wike emphasized that those working against Akpabio were previously against Tinubu’s presidential aspirations.

Advocating for South-South Representation in Senate Leadership
Wike further supported Akpabio’s candidacy by stating that it is appropriate for the South-South region to produce the next Senate President.
He highlighted the historical disparity in Senate presidency representation, noting that the South-South had only produced one Senate President, Joseph Wayas, back in 1979, while the Southeast had produced over seven.
Wike believes that the South-South should have the opportunity to hold this position.

Promoting Cordial Relations between Executive and Legislative Arms

He called for unity and inclusivity, emphasizing the need for everyone to feel a sense of belonging and to work together for the betterment of the nation.
