The Senate Leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, on Wednesday dismissed reports of an alleged plot to remove Senate President Godswill Akpabio, describing them as misleading and aimed at creating unnecessary tension within the National Assembly.
Speaking during plenary, Bamidele clarified that no discussions or plans have taken place among senators regarding Akpabio’s removal. He stressed that the Senate remains united and focused on pressing national issues rather than being distracted by unfounded claims.
“There has been no attempt by any colleague, nor any discussion about removing the Senate President from office. We are fully united and have a zero-tolerance approach to distractions because urgent public matters demand our attention. Reports like these are clearly meant to create confusion,” he said.
His remarks came in response to comments by Senator Orji Ozor Kalu of Abia North, who had referenced previous unsuccessful attempts to impeach the Senate President.
Bamidele reaffirmed that there is no intention within the Senate to consider removing any of its leadership members, underlining the chamber’s cohesion and commitment to governance.
