Senate President Godswill Akpabio on Thursday jokingly teased Oshiomhole over viral video that appeared to show a man massaging a woman’s leg aboard a private jet
Speaking during Thursday’s plenary in a video shared by AIT, Akpabio said, “I don’t want to go outside of what we are doing… I would have asked a question when there was a picture showing one of our senators in a plane, massaging the leg of a girl.”
His remark sparked laughter among lawmakers.
Addressing Senator Adams Oshiomhole, Akpabio added, “Senator Oshiomhole, your friend, your very good friend Senator Lalong came to give me security information. He said that we just ignored the message because we thought it was AI.”
He further stated that the Senate could still consider the issue if credible evidence was presented.
“But if you have another evidence, we have a petition before us, we can look into it if it’s not AI,” he said.
Akpabio was referring to a video that circulated widely in February 2026, which appeared to show a man resembling the senator representing Edo North seated inside what looked like a private jet while a woman rested her legs on his lap as he seemingly massaged them.
The footage generated widespread reactions online, with many Nigerians criticising the perceived display of luxury at a time of economic hardship. Some also connected the controversy to Oshiomhole’s earlier remarks on rising food prices.
