Senate President Godswill Akpabio has said in just 24 years, Nigeria achieved a feat that took up to 185 years for the United States of America.
In his address to the joint National Assembly during the presentation of the N27.5 trillion budget presentation by President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday, Akpabio said while Nigeria produced former senators as President and Vice President in its 24th year as a democratic nation, America achieved that after over one and half century.
Dailytrust reported that In 1992, Tinubu was elected to the Senate to represent Lagos West constituency in the short-lived Third Republic, while Vice-President Kashim Shettima became a senator in 2019.
Meanwhile, In the United States, President John Kennedy and Vice-President Lyndon Johnson found their way to the White House when the US democracy marked its 185th anniversary.
