This move is reportedly due to Akpabio’s alleged closeness to President Tinubu, which has caused him to prioritize the president’s interests over those of the lawmakers and Nigerians.
Despite the country’s challenges, the sources claimed that Akpabio has not worked hard enough to meet public expectations and has not paid enough attention to his colleagues.
The aggrieved Senators are seeking to use Akpabio’s recent misstep that “prayers” had been sent to their mailboxes for celebrations as an opportunity to punish him.
With the Senate resuming later this month, tensions are mounting as the plot to unseat Akpabio intensifies.
It was gathered that a top source in the National Assembly, who is familiar with the plot said that the anti-Akpabio group had already held several meetings in Saudi Arabia and Ilorin to perfect plans to impeach him upon Senate resumption.
According to NASS source, “Among the “sins” of Senator Akpabio, is his alleged “highly-subordinated relationship with President Bola Tinubu.
“Also, the “token’ slip by the Senate President on the day of adjournment for the subsisting recess, is said to form the basis of the move to serve him the famous “banana peel” treatment.
It was gathered that although the Senate President had since clarified what he meant by “prayer” and withdrawn it, his gaffe did not go down well with many of his colleagues, who had expressed their concerns publicly.
“All of these are preparatory to the 2027 general elections where a new “hybrid party” is expected to be floated by the arrowheads of the scheme,” the source close to lawmakers and security men said.
“Plans are in top gear by some Senators to remove the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio.
“ I can tell you confidently that there are four Senators spearheading the plot and two of the lawmakers are former governors from the North West geo-political zone of the country.
“As a matter of fact, they had consulted one of their colleagues chairing a sensitive committee of the upper chamber over the sinister move.
“To firm up their game plan, they met in Saudi Arabia recently, and also in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, with the same agenda to remove the Senate President”, the source hinted.
Another source noted that: “There are plans to establish a hybrid party, ahead of the 2027 elections.
“The plan is to draw membership of the yet-to-be-named political platform from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), and opposition parties, especially the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
“They intend to replicate the ‘tsunami’ that hit the then-ruling PDP in 2014, where many heavyweights of the party moved to form what is today the SPC”.
