Senate President Akpabio Conspiracy Shakes Nigeria's Political Landscape

In a shocking turn of events, Nigeria witnesses a political storm as Senator Elisha Abbo, representing Adamawa North, was sacked by the Court of Appeal. The senator claims that the mastermind behind his ousting is none other than Senate President, Godswill Akpabio. However, what truly sends ripples through the political landscape is Abbo's allegations that four more senators who dared to oppose Akpabio's bid for the senate presidency may face a similar fate through court judgments. This revelation raises a myriad of questions and concerns about the state of democracy in Nigeria.

Abbo's startling claims came to light during a press briefing held at his Abuja residence. Just hours after the Appeal Court invalidated his victory in the February 25th poll, he made headlines with his accusations against Akpabio. Notably, a three-member panel, led by C.E. Nwosu-Iheme, declared Amos Yohanna of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the validly elected lawmaker for Adamawa North senatorial district, ordering the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to issue a Certificate of Return to the PDP candidate.

While Abbo named Orji Kalu, the senator representing Abia North, as one of the five senators whose victories might be nullified, he remained tight-lipped about the other three senators in the crosshairs due to their alleged opposition to Akpabio's senate presidency ambition.

“I have it from a reliable source that myself and four other senators within the fold of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) will be removed from the Senate through rulings from the courts, all because of working against the emergence of Akpabio as President of the 10th Senate. I won't mention the names of all the four other ones targeted, but the next in line is Senator Orji Uzor Kalu,” Abbo stated.

These shocking developments cast a shadow of doubt over the democratic processes in Nigeria, with Abbo describing the judgment that ousted him from office as “a coup on democracy.” He asserts that he won the senatorial election with a margin of 11,000 votes, leaving many to wonder if this judicial intervention is truly an attack on democracy or a necessary corrective action.

Abbo's plea for calm among his supporters and constituents underscores the tension that now looms over Adamawa North. The senator's accusations place Senate President Akpabio at the center of a political storm, hinting at potential power struggles within the All Progressives Congress (APC).

While Premium Times made efforts to reach Mr. Akpabio's spokesperson, Eseme Eyiboh, for comments, his mobile telephone was reportedly switched off. The silence from Akpabio's camp only fuels the speculations and conspiracy theories surrounding the situation.

The flashback to the run-up to the 10th senate presidency contest unveils a complex web of political maneuvering. Four notable members of the APC entered the race, including Akpabio, a former governor of Akwa Ibom State, Abdulaziz Yari, a former governor of Zamfara State, former Abia governor, Orji Kalu, and returnee senator, Osita Izunaso from Imo. Initially, Akpabio was publicly endorsed by President Bola Tinubu and all the national organs of the APC.

However, the political landscape took an unexpected turn when Kalu joined the campaign of Mr. Yari and opted for the position of deputy senate president. Another senator, Sani Musa from Niger State, dropped out of the race and also opted for the position of deputy senate president. On the day of the election, only Akpabio and Yari were nominated for the senate presidency seat. Akpabio emerged as the senate president, polling 63 votes to defeat Yari, who scored 46 votes.

These new revelations give rise to many questions. Did Abbo and his fellow senators truly conspire against Akpabio's presidential bid? Is there a deeper political game at play? Will this incident lead to further divisions within the APC? As Nigeria watches this political drama unfold, one thing is clear: the Senate President Akpabio conspiracy has ignited a nationwide discussion on the state of Nigerian democracy.

As Nigerians anxiously await further developments, it's crucial to remember that a thriving democracy relies on the transparency and integrity of its institutions, including the judiciary. Only time will tell whether these allegations hold true and what impact they will have on the country's political landscape.
