The Nigerian Senate has categorically denied recent rumours circulating in select media outlets about an alleged plot to impeach Senate President Godswill Akpabio. The Senate expressed its unity and dedication to its legislative and constitutional responsibilities in a statement issued on Saturday by the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Publicity, Yemi Adaramodu, representing the APC from Ekiti South.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Nigerian Senate is one united and fraternal family. This imaginative composition is in the realm of the fake and fallacious story of 100m per legislator. It\u2019s apt to note that the10th Senate, under the leadership of Senator Godswill Akpabio has carried out its Legislative and constitutional duties diligently.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWithin a span of less than 60 Legislative days, the Senate has passed life enhancing bills and motions. It has screened and confirmed Service Chiefs and Ministers, among others, apart from very essential oversight functions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWe urge the fifth columnists, who operate undoubtedly outside the Senate, desperate to cause disharmony through media stunts and thus clipping the wings of Nigeria\u2019s democracy, to take caution.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201d The Senate should be allowed fresh air to settle down for its national assignments, so that the Nigerian project can move forward. The media too, should be discerning not to be used as hand tool to these retailers of fake and bad news.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
