The Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele, has dismissed claims of an attempt to remove Senate President Godswill Akpabio, describing them as misleading and designed to create unnecessary tension.

Speaking during plenary on Wednesday, Bamidele clarified that no discussions or plans had taken place among senators regarding Akpabio’s removal, stressing that the Red Chamber remains united and focused on pressing national issues.

“There was no attempt by any of our colleagues, nor any discussion about removing the Senate President from office. We are fully united and have a zero-tolerance approach to distractions because there are urgent issues of public importance that need our attention. Reports like these are clearly meant to create confusion,” he said.
