He also endorsed Senator Barau Jibrin from North West as the best fit for the position.
Speaking in a recent interview with Arise Television, Garba said; “The Red Chamber has been more organized than it has ever been since 1999 because there has been proper structure of working relationships with the executive.
“And if we’ve this mature leadership that drives this success, why can’t we allow Sen. Barau Jibrin to be able to drive the Office of the Senate President, so that we can have a coordinated and better organized and responsible government that meets the needs and yearnings of Nigerians.
“That’s why I believe that Sen. Barau Jibrin is the most qualified, especially looking at his personal antecedents in public service, and his activities in the Senate as the highest-ranking member.
“Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu gave meagerly Only 8000 votes, but had 40 something thousand votes to himself, in the same election, same people, the same procedure, the same INEC, the same BVAS, in an election held on the same day, within the same state. Now how do you draw such a comparison?
“If you go to Sen. Godswill Akpabio, from the South South, there are reports from several quarters that Senator Godswill Akpabio is nursing the intention of dropping his ambition for a ministerial position.”
