The delegation included Deputy Senate President Jibrin Barau, Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele, Senator Solomon Adeola, Senator Abdul’aziz Yari and other lawmakers.
Speaking during the visit, Akpabio commended President Tinubu for what he described as the achievements of the administration in the areas of economic reforms, infrastructure development and security interventions.
He assured the President of the Senate’s continued support for policies and programmes aimed at national development and economic recovery.
Akpabio also extended Sallah greetings to Nigerians, especially Muslim faithful observing the Eid-el-Kabir celebration, while praying for peace, unity and prosperity in the country.
President Tinubu, in his remarks, appreciated the Senate leadership for its support and cooperation with the executive arm of government.
The President stressed the need for sustained collaboration between both arms of government in addressing the country’s socio-economic and security challenges.
Tinubu further urged leaders to embrace the spirit of sacrifice, unity and selflessness associated with the Sallah celebration.
“The spirit of Sallah should inspire leaders to continue working together for the peace, stability and progress of Nigeria,” the President said.
The meeting underscored the cordial working relationship between the executive and legislative arms of government and formed part of activities marking the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.
