The Senate has passed a vote of confidence in Senate President Godswill Akpabio, reaffirming its support for his leadership amid recent controversies
Disclosing this in a statement by the Communications and Strategy team office of the President of the Senate, the resolution, moved by Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele under Orders 40 and 51, called for a renewed focus on legislative duties, urging lawmakers to prioritise governance.
Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, who presided over the plenary, emphasised the need to shift attention to critical national issues, particularly in light of the recently passed national budget.
He stressed that the controversy at the heart of recent tensions is now before the courts and should be left to the legal system.
Senate Leader Bamidele addressed public concerns over the matter, dismissing reports that the issue was related to sexual harassment allegations. He clarified that the disciplinary action taken was strictly a response to a breach of Senate rules.
“The Senate President did not preside over any such case. What was addressed was a flagrant disregard for Senate rules, and we followed due process as guided by the Constitution,” Bamidele stated.
