President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio has advised the United States of America not to give up on its brotherly role in entrenching and promoting democracy.
He made the call on Tuesday while addressing a delegation from the American embassy in Nigeria, led by the chargé d’affaires, David Greene.
Akpabio noted that this task of spreading normative democratic values sometimes requires Americans to pay the ultimate price.
“I am a believer in the American democracy and I ask that you continue to offer assistance to Nigeria and other countries as we walk our way up the ladder of democracy”.
Mr Greene said his team is seeking collaborative efforts with the Nigerian Senate on multiple fronts.
” We came here today to pay a courtesy call on the Senate President to Congratulate him and also in hopes that we can find ways to work together for the collective good of the Nigerian people”.
The visit ended with the exchange of souvenirs by the host and the visitors.
