Coalition Condemns Alleged Plot to Impeach Senate President Akpabio as Political Mischief.

Coalition Condemns Alleged Plot to Impeach Senate President Akpabio as Political Mischief.

The attention of the Coalition of Christian Groups for Good Governance Nigeria and Diaspora COCGOG, North-Central Region has been drawn to what the Sunday Tribune of Sunday, March 3, 2024, decided to use as its lead front-page story that the Senate President, His Excellency Godswill Akpabio had to apologize to Nigerian governors over his comment during plenary that “an unverified cumulative sum of about N30bn to the sub-national governments by the Federal Government for various interventions to ameliorate the food situation of our citizens” at the sub-national level.

Considering the tone and context of the story, it should have been dismissed with a wave of the hand as nothing but a carefully orchestrated inanity and planted in a leading Southwest newspaper publication as a continuation of the ‘war’ with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his government.

But it becomes imperative for us to respond to this story because these masters of political mischief whose modus vivendi is their unearned entitlements and not developments that will benefit every segment of our society in equal measures, which the Senate President, through robust, all-encompassing legislation, represents.

We should let it be known that the northern senators, who were fingered in the story as entertaining this impeachment fantasy, do not belong to a certain section of northerners but the generality of northerners hence this public statement.

We make bold to say that Nigeria has never had it so good since the beginning of this democratic dispensation with Godswill Akpabio at the helm of the 10th National Assembly. Therefore, he must be left alone to rearrange our polity for sustainable development through high and positive impact legislation by the Renewed Hope agenda of President Tinubu.

We urge the northern senators to cease and desist from their primordial fantasies of always heating the polity just because their inordinate, vacuous, and regressive ethnic/religious exceptionalism is beginning to lose traction in a New Nigeria as epitomized by the Senate President, in a case there’s an iota of truth to their hopeless scheming.

Nigeria in general, and the North in particular, belong to those who live in her geographical boundaries as well as its geopolitical regions. We will no longer be silent in the face of the egregious injustice of any segment of the population.

Leave Senate President Godswill Obot Akpabio alone. He is doing an excellent job for all Nigerians.
