The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has faulted speculated impeachment against him, stating that members of the upper chamber are united and the senators are not aware of any plan to remove him from office.
Penpushing reports that Akpabio made this clear while reacting to a media report that the State Security Service (SSS) operatives occupied the National Assembly Complex in the early hours of Wednesday to stall his impeachment.
The Senate President declared that the said report was false and urged the general public to disregard it, adding that the senators are holding plenary peacefully and observing their official duty without any hindrance.
“And we are here, sitting down and doing our work, very peacefully oblivious of the mischief that is going on behind us. The fake news is hereby referred to the committee on special duties and should report back to the Senate in 24 hours’, he added
Penpushing further reports that the senate president during plenary, however, referred the issue to the Senate Committee on Special Duties for further investigation, and directed the committee to report their findings to the Senate after 24 hours.
The Senate President said the report was aimed at blackmailing him and the entire Senate to drive readers to the media organization, pointing out that the blackmailers use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to inject something to turn it around in order to drive traffic.
“It is part of what we pass through on a daily basis. You see that they use AI to inject something to turn it around in order to drive traffic. I understand that they are being paid by YouTube, If they have a lot of traffic.
“Whoever brought out this fake news must be getting a lot of payment because of the traffic going on, but I hope the public is aware that this is total fake news. And that the chamber is very stable. And the issue of impeachment does not come in. So, Kaka, please investigate and report back to us as soon as practicable’, he added.
Penpushing also reports that the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Special Duties, Senator Kaka Shehu in his response, assured that his committee would investigate the issue and report back to the Senate as soon as possible.
