The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has expressed regret that he contested the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential primary election against President Bola Tinubu.

Akpabio said he would not have contested the primary election against Tinubu if he knew the plans the president had for Nigeria.

Speaking in Lagos State, Akpabio noted that the state was a development model for other states in the country.

According to Akpabio: “With what the president has done in Lagos, we are assured that Nigeria is in safe hands.

“We didn’t know this was the plan you had for the country; we wouldn’t have contested with you at the party primaries.

“These few decisions you have taken have served as a catalyst for the country’s development.”
