Akpabio’s aide: No plans to impeach Senate President

The Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Senate President, Eseme Eyiboh, says the upper chamber of the National Assembly is stable, noting that there is no plans to impeach Godswill Akpabio.

Reacting to reports about plots to distabilise the Senate and its leadership, Eyiboh, on Saturday, said the reports were complete imaginations and sometimes laced with malice to achieve what senators are yet to comprehend.

Noting that the Senate has since gone past the experience of the keenly contested leadership election, Eyiboh said the plot to drag in senators who initially did not support the emergence of the present leadership into a conspiracy that does not exist was uncharitable to the lawmakers and needless.

He said: “Senators are presently concluding their holidays in their constituencies and other places they have chosen to spend their time after the rigours of the inauguration and ministerial screening and other constructive engagements.

“All senators are also refreshing themselves ahead of the resumption, therefore, any suggestions that they are presently engaged in other subversive plots against the institution is rather uncharitable.

“It is mostly uncharitable for those senators who initially did not support the emergence of the leadership but who have all unanimously endorsed the Senator Akpabio-led leadership. Continuing to link these senators with needless conspiracy with barely disguised innuendo is rather unkind.

“We call on the media not to give in to the conspiratorial tales, and not to give damage to the reputations that they have built over time.”
