The Nigerian Senate has passed a vote of confidence in Senate President Godswill Akpabio and the entire leadership of the 10th Senate.
This decision was made during Thursday’s plenary session, barely 24 hours after false reports of impeachment plans and Department of State Services takeover of the National Assembly surfaced.
Akpabio had earlier debunked the impeachment rumors during Wednesday’s plenary session.
The Senate spokesperson also issued a statement dismissing the claims, while Special Adviser to the President on Senate Matters emphasized President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to fostering a harmonious relationship between the legislative and executive branches, according to Nigerian Tribune.
The vote of confidence demonstrates the Senate’s support for Akpabio’s leadership, quelling speculation and rumors surrounding his position. The move aims to promote stability and cooperation within the legislative body.
The development reaffirms the Senate’s trust in Akpabio’s ability to lead the chamber effectively. The focus now shifts to the Senate’s legislative agenda and its collaboration with the executive branch.
President Tinubu’s administration has been working closely with the legislature to ensure a smooth working relationship. The vote of confidence is seen as a significant boost to this effort, paving the way for productive cooperation between the two arms of government.
