Some senators in the red chamber are making an effort to persuade the leadership of the ruling party to get involved in the conspiracy to impeach Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
Tuesday saw a new twist in the attempt to remove Akpabio from office as ten or so former governors in the red chamber and a parliamentary alliance demanded that he resign.
However, several senators have stated they intend to involve the Abdullahi Ganduje-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the situation.
UPDATE: Akpabio React Over Move To Remove Him As Senate President
Despite reports that some senators went on a troubleshooting mission for their colleagues on Tuesday, they urged the issue be brought before the Ganduje-led APC NWC.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, this week there were reports that two well-known Senators from the North West and other Senators were already meeting and strategising how to remove Akpabio as the President of the 10th Senate.
The official, who pleaded anonymity to Vanguard, said, “The party is just reading a lot of thongs, but we have heard that some of the senators are thinking of meeting with our NWC to help resolve the issue.”
It would be recalled that last Saturday, Senator Elisha Ishaku Abbo, had claimed that Akpabio’s loyalists sponsored the news report about his rumoured planned impeachment in order to set Northern Senators against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Abbo had said “I woke up today to see over ten mainstream Nigerian newspapers, all carrying news of a plan to impeach Senator Akpabio by senators from Northern Nigeria. The Whistler Newspaper went ahead to mention Senator Yari, Senator Tambuwal, and Senator Onawo, among others, as the senators behind the move.
“As a Northern Senator and an official of the Northern Senatorsé= Forum, I make it bold to say that this news is deliberately planted and syndicated by the ‘camp’ of Senator Akpabio just to set President Bola Tinubu against the North.”
