Fake news, no plan to impeach me, says Akpabio


 Senate President Godswill Akpabio says reports suggesting that the Department of State Services (DSS) has taken over the national assembly premises to stop an alleged impeachment plot against him are false.

 

The reports said the secret police had taken over all entrances to the assembly complex on Wednesday.

 

Speaking on the floor of the senate, Akpabio dismissed the reports as “fake news”.

 

The senate president jocularly said those behind the reports may be seeking revenue from the traffic they could get on their websites.

 

 “[They said DSS] has surrounded the national assembly to possibly stop the impeachment of principal officers,” he said.

 

“There is no limit to social media… we are sitting down here doing our work peacefully oblivious of the mischief.

 

“Which committee do we refer this to? (laughter).

 

 “I understand that they are being paid if they have a lot of traffic, but I hope the public is aware that this is total fake news.”

 

Akpabio referred the matter to the special duties committee to report back “as soon as possible”.
