The Senate yesterday passed a vote of confidence in its President, Senator Godswill Akpabio.

The vote of confidence in Akpabio was passed unanimously during Thursday’s plenary, as senators reaffirmed their support for Akpabio’s leadership amid recent controversies.

The decision followed a motion moved by Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele (Ekiti Central).

This development is coming on the heels of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s appearance at the summit of the International Parliamentary Union, IPU in New York falsely alleging her suspension was due to her sexual harassment allegation against the President of Nigeria Senate.
