The Senate has reacted to the news of a reported move to impeach its President, Senator Godswill Akpabio.
The reaction was contained in a statement by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Publicity, Yemi Adaramodu.
In the statement on Saturday, Adaramodu said: “Our attention has just been drawn to a syndicated satanic verses in a section of the media, of purported and illusory plots of leadership change in the Senate.
“The Nigerian Senate is one united and fraternal family.
“This imaginative composition is in the realm of the fake and fallacious story of 100m per legislator.
“It’s apt to note that the10th Senate, under the leadership of Senator Godswill Akpabio has carried out its Legislative and constitutional duties diligently.
“Within a span of less than 60 Legislative days, the Senate has passed life enhancing bills and motions.
“It has screened and confirmed Service Chiefs and Ministers, among others, apart from very essential oversight functions.
“We urge the fifth columnists, who operate undoubtedly outside the Senate, desperate to cause disharmony through media stunts and thus clipping the wings of Nigeria’s democracy, to take caution.
