Contrary to sponsored news report in some sections of the media that some unnamed Senators were allegedly ploting to impeach the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, the Nigerian Senate under the leadership of Akpabio is stable and unperturbed by what appears to be a syndicated media attack from outside the precincts of the National Assembly.
Reacting to syndicated reports in some weekend newspapers about plots to distabilise the Senate and its leadership, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President of the Senate, Hon Eseme Eyiboh, said the reports were complete imaginations and sometimes laced with malice to achieve what Senators are yet to comprehend.
He noted that "the Senate has since moved on after the leadership contest. 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 Senators".
“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.
“All senators are also refreshing themselves ahead of resumption and suggestions that they are presently engaged in other subversive plots against the institution is rather uncharitable. It is especially 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 one conspiracy or the other with barely disguised innuendo is rather unkind. We call on the Media not to give in to the conspiratorial tales and to please not give damage to the reputations that they have built over time,”he concluded.
