The Senate Leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, has debunked reports suggesting a plot to remove Senate President Godswill Akpabio, describing them as false and intended to cause unnecessary tension within the National Assembly.
Speaking during Wednesday’s plenary, Bamidele stated that there had been no discussion or plan among lawmakers to oust Akpabio, insisting that the Senate remains united and focused on addressing urgent national issues.
“There has been no attempt by any colleague, nor any discussion about removing the Senate President from office. We are fully united and have a zero-tolerance approach to distractions because urgent public matters demand our attention. Reports like these are clearly meant to create confusion,” he said.
His clarification followed a comment by Senator Orji Uzor Kalu of Abia North, who had alluded to past unsuccessful efforts to impeach the Senate President.
