NIGERIAN Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has debunked recent reports of disgruntled Senators attempting to impeach him from office.
The Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President of the Senate, Honourable Eseme Eyiboh, assures that there is no foundation to the story.
According to some reports, Senators who didn’t make it to the Senate Committees are the brains behind the impeachment plot against the Senate President.
The reports circulating also indicted two ex governors from the North West region as kingpins of the alleged plot.
The same reports had stated that the plot was expected ro unravel once the Senators return from their annual vacation being observed.
The Senate President has, however, now debunked these reports, insisting instead that they ”appear to be a syndicated media attack from outside the precincts of the National Assembly.”
“The plot to drag in Senators who initially did not support the emergence of the present leadership into a conspiracy that does not exist was uncharitable to the Senators.
“Senators are presently concluding their holidays in their constituencies and other places they have chosen to spend their time after the rigours of the inauguration and ministerial screening.
“All senators are also refreshing themselves ahead of resumption, and suggestions that they are presently engaged in other subversive plots against the institution is rather uncharitable. It is especially uncharitable for those Senators who initially did not support the emergence of the leadership but who have all unanimously endorsed the Senator Akpabio-led leadership.
” Continuing to link these Senators with one conspiracy or the other with barely disguised innuendo is rather unkind. We call on the Media not to give in to the conspiratorial tales and to please not give damage to the reputations that they have built over time,” Akpabio posited.
