Presidency Reveals Stance Amid ‘Impeachment Plans’ for Senate President Akpabio

The Nigerian presidency has revealed its stance on an alleged impeachment of Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

The announcement was made by Senator Basheer Lado, President Bola Tinubu’s Adviser on National Assembly Matters (Senate).

Lado said claims of such impeachment are baseless.

According to him, the Executive and Legislature enjoy a healthy relationship, rendering any impeachment plans impossible.

It can be recalled that there were reports alleging that security agents had been deployed to prevent senators from carrying out their legislative duties over a potential impeachment.

However, Lado, in a statement, countered the claims.

He said, “I wish to categorically state that these reports are baseless and should be disregarded as there is no discord within the rank and file of the senators.

“The legislative body remains united in its commitment to the advancement of Nigeria’s democracy.

“The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, in line with his dedication to a harmonious working relationship among the senators, recognises the critical role of the senate in driving legislative progress.

“His Excellency remains committed to ensuring that this collaboration is based on mutual respect, dialogue, and shared goals for peace, progress and prosperity of all Nigerians.

“I therefore urge the public to disregard such unfounded publications which could undermine the integrity of the legislature.”
