In his reaction, Senate President Akpabio swiftly denied the allegations, labelling them “fake news” during Wednesday’s plenary session, October 16. He assured that the chamber is stable and calm, contradicting reports of DSS involvement.
According to Vanguard, Akpabio then tasked Senator Shehu Kaka’s Senate Committee on Special Duties with investigating the matter and reporting back within 24 hours. This move aims to uncover the truth behind the allegations and address concerns.
The controversy began when Order Paper reported DSS operatives had taken control of the National Assembly, sparking speculation about an impeachment threat against Akpabio. It was alleged that some northern senators who were dissatisfied with President Bola Tinubu were driving this move.
As the investigation unfolds, transparency and accountability will be crucial. The Nigerian public will be watching closely to ensure the Senate’s findings are thorough and unbiased. The situation highlights tensions within Nigeria’s political landscape, underscoring the need for stability and cooperation among government branches.
Many Nigerians have been complaining about the country’s economic hardship. The situation has been linked to the removal of fuel subsidies and the floating of the currency by Tinubu’s administration.
