In a dramatic twist, the Renaissance Group has called on the Department of State Security (DSS) to investigate what they describe as a coordinated plot to blackmail Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
In a statement released by the group and signed by spokesperson Mohammed Jamiu, they alleged that a faction of senators, in collaboration with certain external forces, is actively working to undermine Akpabio’s credibility and tarnish his well-earned reputation.
According to the statement made available to TimesNow.com.ng on Tuesday, August 6, the group claimed that the conspiracy includes orchestrating social media campaigns under the trending hashtag #AkpabioMustGo.
Jamiu, in the statement expressed deep concern over the implications of such actions, asserting that the plots are part of a larger agenda to destabilize the nation.
The group urged those behind the campaign to reconsider their actions. They added that the office of the Senate President is a position of national significance, meant to serve all Nigerians, rather than being confined to any specific region.
Speaking further, the Renaissance Group commended Godswill Akpabio for his leadership qualities, expressing confidence in his capacity to stabilize the 10th National Assembly amidst the ongoing turbulence.
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that former Kaduna Senator Shehu Sani has reacted to the call for the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, to resign after his infamous comment that he and others in the government would be “eating” while Nigerians protest.
Sani clarified that the removal of Senate President Akpabio would require a coordinated effort from Senators, or alternatively, Akpabio might face suspension until the next election.
