Akpabio stated this in Maiduguri during a condolence visit to Senator Tahir Monguno over the death of his father.
He noted that the Senate, under his watch, has no plan to procure new aircrafts for Tinubu and Shettima.
In a statement from his media office in Abuja, Akpabio said that a report by a section of the media insinuating that it proposed new aircrafts for the president and his vice considering the economic climate in the country was false.
He specifically stated that report was from “propagandists” and “fifth columnists”, stressing that the Senate was more focused on delivering legislation that would support the actualisation of President Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda.
“I want to dispel the rumour that you are hearing that the senate president said he will buy a new plane for the president and his vice, irrespective of the fact that Nigerians are hungry or whatever,” Akpabio said.
“I never said that. I was actually in Zanzibar, Tanzania, It is the handiwork of propagandists and fifth columnists, who never see anything good in what we are doing.
“Be rest assured, pray for the government, have patience and be assured that the combination of Tinubu and Shettima will bring wealth and prosperity to all.”
While expressing satisfaction with the return of peace to Borno State, Akpabio said: “I am happy to see that peace has returned to Borno, as a result of the handwork of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I want to tell the good of people of Borno to continue to support the administration.”
