A faction of aggrieved senators have commenced moves to impeach the Senate president, Senator Godswill Akpabio, when the Senate reconvenes on September 26, 2023.
Recall that Truth Live News have reported several incidents where the Senate President made statements that put the Senate in the wrong spotlight. It is therefore not surprising that some of the aggrieved Senators led by two former North West governors, want to use the recent slip made by Akpabio that “prayers’ had been sent to their mailboxes for celebrations, to punish him.
According to Daily Trust, they are also planning to not only impeach the senate president but to make the leadership of the senate not favorable to the presidency, thereby creating uncomfortable situation for the president.
One of the Senators familiar with the development said:
“All of these are preparatory to the 2027 general elections where a new “hybrid party” is expected to be floated by the arrowheads of the scheme
“Plans are in top gear by some Senators to remove the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio.
“ I can tell you confidently that there are four Senators spearheading the plot and two of the lawmakers are former governors from the North West geo-political zone of the country.
“As a matter of fact, they had consulted one of their colleagues chairing a sensitive committee of the upper chamber over the sinister move.
“To firm up their game plan, they met in Saudi Arabia recently, and also in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, with the same agenda to remove the Senate President”
“There are plans to establish a hybrid party, ahead of the 2027 elections.
“The plan is to draw membership of the yet-to-be-named political platform from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), and opposition parties, especially PDP.”
