The Senate on Saturday described as false the purported news making the rounds in some sections of media that some Senators were planning to impeach the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio.
In a press statement, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Publicity, Yemi Adaramodu, said, “Our attention has just been drawn to syndicated satanic verses in a section of the media, of purported and illusory plots of leadership change in the Senate.
“The Nigerian Senate is one united and fraternal family. This imaginative composition is in the realm of the fake and fallacious story of 100m per legislator. It’s apt to note that the 10th Senate, under the leadership of Senator Godswill Akpabio, has carried out its Legislative and constitutional duties diligently.
