The Leader of the Senate, Opeyemi Bamidele, on Wednesday dismissed claims suggesting any move to impeach Senate President Godswill Akpabio, describing such reports as unfounded and capable of sowing confusion within the upper chamber.
Bamidele’s clarification followed comments by former Chief Whip of the Senate, Orji Uzor Kalu (Abia North), who on Tuesday revealed that there had been past, though unsuccessful, attempts by some senators to unseat Akpabio.
Kalu, while speaking with journalists at the National Assembly, had said that efforts to destabilize the Senate leadership failed after key members intervened to preserve unity in the chamber.
He urged lawmakers to focus on legislative stability and national cohesion rather than political scheming.
