[VIDEO] Ex-APC Chieftain demands Akpabio’s resignation as Senate President

A former deputy spokesperson of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Timi Frank has asked Godswill Akpabio, the present Senate President to resign.

In a video seen online on Wednesday, August 9, Frank said Akpabio “made a mockery of Nigeria’s democracy.”

Recall that Akpabio had, on Monday during a special plenary session of the screening and confirmation of President Bola Tinubu’s ministerial nominees, informed the senators that the Clerk to the National Assembly (CNA), Magaji Tambuwal, had wired money into their individual bank accounts in order to enjoy their annual holiday.

Akpabio had said, “In order to enable all of us to enjoy our holidays, a token has been sent to our various accounts by the Clerk of the National Assembly…,”

Akpabio, however, too a pause as he withdrew the statement, while he rephrased the information.

“In order to enjoy your holidays, the Senate President has sent prayers to your mailboxes to assist you to go on a safe journey and return,” Akpabio said in the alternative to calm down frayed nerves.

However, Frank in a swift reaction said: “The show of shame that was demonstrated today on live national television where the senate under Akpabio was telling the whole world that they are going on vacation and the Clerk of the national assembly has paid money to every account of the Nigerian senators. This is the biggest joke we’ve seen in recent time (sic). “But that is the main reason why I am making it bold and very clear Senator Godswill Akpabio must immediately resign as the senate president.”

He also said the Nigeria Labour Congress to seize every discussion and communication with the federal government until the salary of the Nigeria workers is increased, and declared that Nigerians should prepare for a total lockdown until Akpabio resigns as the senate president of Nigeria.
