A fresh wave of controversy has hit the Senate as Senator Elisha Abbo accuses Senate President Godswill Akpabio of turning the Red Chamber into his personal empire. In a scathing remark, Abbo alleged that Akpabio’s leadership style is dictatorial, claiming that some senators were even summoned to his residence and served tea as he imposed decisions.
The outspoken lawmaker’s criticism comes amid rising tensions over key legislative matters, fueling concerns about internal power struggles. While Akpabio’s allies dismiss the claims as baseless, opposition within the Senate appears to be growing.
With the chamber increasingly divided, political analysts predict a turbulent session ahead. Will Akpabio tighten his grip or bow to mounting pressure? The coming weeks will tell.
