President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, GCON, has urged Nigerians to disregard recent rumors of a planned impeachment, labeling such reports as baseless and the work of individuals with an ethical deficit. The Senate President made this clarification following a story published by OrderPaper Nigeria, which speculated about an impeachment plot against him.
In a statement released on Wednesday by Hon. Eseme Eyiboh, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Senate President, Akpabio described the reports as “a figment of the reporter’s imagination,” calling them misinformation from those aiming to sow discord within the Senate.
“Distinguished Senator Godswill Akpabio wishes to state without equivocation that the speculation and misinformation circulating about an alleged impeachment plot against him is the handiwork of fifth columnists who are perpetual merchants of misinformation and purveyors of mischief,” Eyiboh said.
Akpabio reaffirmed his commitment to leading the Senate effectively and collaborating with other arms of government for the betterment of Nigeria. He emphasized that there is no internal conflict or plot to oust him within the Upper Chamber, dismissing the impeachment allegations as a “desperate attempt to create division.”
“The allegations are nothing but a desperate attempt to create division and discord among the esteemed senators. It’s unfortunate that some individuals would resort to spreading falsehoods to promote their invidious blackmail enterprise,” Eyiboh stated.
Senator Akpabio remains focused on the implementation of the 10th Senate’s Legislative Agenda, addressing pressing national issues, and promoting growth and prosperity. He has called on the public to ignore these rumors and focus on the ongoing work of the Senate.
“We urge the public to disregard these baseless claims and instead focus on the meaningful work being done by the Senate to improve the lives of all Nigerians,” Eyiboh concluded.
