Senators pass vote of confidence in Akpabio 

Published by

Senators have passed a vote of confidence in the President of the Senate, Sen. Godswill Akpabio, and the entire leadership of the 10th Senate.

The confidence vote, which was passed on Thursday during plenary, came barely 24 hours after Wednesday’s false news report by some media platforms that operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) took over the National Assembly to prevent a plan to impeach Akpabio.

Recall that Tribune Online reports that the Senate President, during plenary session on Wednesday, debunked impeachment rumours, describing it as “fake news.”

Earlier on Wednesday, rumours on some social media platforms stated that the Senate president was set to be impeached and indicated that operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) had taken over the National Assembly premises to prevent a plan to impeach the officers from taking place.

The Senate spokesperson, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, in a statement, also dispelled impeachment rumours of Akpabio, describing it as “unacceptable and unspeakable.”

Also, the Special Adviser to the President on Senate Matters, Sen. Basheer Lado, in a reaction on Wednesday evening, spoke of the commitment of President Bola Tinubu to encourage a harmonious working relationship between the legislature and the executive.
