I will focus on my noble task; Cannot be distracted-The Senate President Akpabio Reply Elisa Abbo

Saharan Porters reported earlier that Abbo accused Senate’s President Godswill Akpabio of targeting the Nigerian Senate like a personal rich and targeting senators that oppose its view. Senate President Godswill Akpabio struck former senator Elisha Abbo about allegations that he (Akpabio) played a role in his removal of the National Assembly. Akpabio issued in a statement on Thursday by his media assistant Eseme Eyiboh described Abbo’s claims as unfounded and misleading. The rebuttal followed the allegations that Abbo made during an interview on TV on Arise News, where he accused Akpabio of running the Senate like a ‘personal empire’ and the removal of five senators, including himself, orchestrating. Saharan Porters reported earlier that Abbo accused Senate’s President Godswill Akpabio of targeting the Nigerian Senate like a personal rich and targeting senators that oppose its view. Abbo spoke on Arise News TV on Wednesday, claiming that Akpabio has orchestrated the removal of five senators, including himself. Former Adamawa North Senator noted that Akpabio informed him privately of the planned floor. Abbo, who supported Senator Abdulaziz Yari’s bid for the Senate president, said Akpabio was trying to win him with personal appeals and financial incentives. He further accused Akpabio of denying him refusal compensation, blocking his participation in an international parliamentary assignment and withholding his official vehicle after being removed from office. But Akpabio said in the statement that he was shocked to hear that Abbo again blamed him for his removal from the Senate, barely two years after he apologized. The president of the Senate was constantly in the news for a series of negative actions, including the current crisis of alleged sexual harassment at Senator Natasha Akpoti-Outuaghan of the Kogi-Center Senatorial District. However, Akpabio said: ‘It is sad and regrettable that, despite the public withdrawal of a similar allegation in 2023 – after admitting that his earlier accusation was premature and based on the available information at our disposal – Mr. ABBO once again had a campaign of misinformation and the debt transfer. process that led to his removal. It is surprising that he would now return to the same unfounded allegations he once renounced. “Akpabio noted that it was the court and not him who determined Abbo’s fate before he was removed, and emphasized that he found it illogical and irresponsible that Abbo could turn around and claim that he had influenced the judgment he accepted at the time. official vehicle, despite the court statement that his tenure was void. ‘ If any of ABBO’s demands for payment have not reached the desk of the Senate’s president, it is because they do not meet these legal standards – not because of any personal or political vendetta. Akpabio remains focused on the noble task of nation-building, which offers purposeful leadership in the Senate and strengthens the democratic institutions-especially the independence of the direct region. We appeal to Mr. Abbo to reflect deeply, respect the rule of law and focus on rebuilding the confidence of his voters if he hopes to return to public life.
