 Senators pass vote of confidence in Akpabio


Twenty-four hours after refuting reports of an alleged impeachment plot, the Senate, on Thursday, passed a vote of confidence in the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and the entire leadership of the Red Chamber.


Reports of a purported impeachment plot by unnamed northern senators surfaced on social media on Wednesday morning, but both the Senate and Akpabio swiftly dismissed it as fake news.


During Thursday’s plenary, Yahaya Abdullahi (PDP, Kebbi North) rose under orders 10 and 42 of the Senate standing rules to address the issue again.


Abdullahi stressed the importance of dispelling the false narrative and clearing the names of northern senators accused of plotting Akpabio’s impeachment.


The publication is undermining the context of our democracy and is undermining the capacity of this institution to deliver in the presence of governors of this country,” Abdullahi stated.


He further called for unity, saying, “We must rise and get united under the leadership to ensure that this kind of discourse is completely negated and for the kind of unity we have forged in the last 18 months to be sustained and fully accomplished.”


Abdullahi rejected the notion that northern senators were involved in any such plot, adding, “For us to be characterised as promoting or supporting anybody to bring the leadership of this institution down is bad and should be disregarded.”
