Senate President Godswill Akpabio has taunted those calling for demonstrations over the economic hardship in the country.
Akpabio said those interested in the protest can go ahead “but let us be there eating”.
Akpabio spoke on Tuesday, at an event organised by the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) in Rivers State.
During the NDDC event, Akpabio said he was not interested in any “regime change”.
“All of us feel the impact of what is happening now. But we are aware it will be for a short while. MD, I want to thank you for what you said. You said we are not interested in regime change, let us own this government.
“Those who want to protest can protest, but let us be there eating — I must thank the Niger Delta”, he added.
He said, “We acknowledge the fact that the impact of oil and gas activities in our region has done immeasurable damage to our people.”
