Oshiomhole Demands Akpabio’s Resignation Over Proposed Senate Rule Change

A fresh controversy has erupted in the Senate after Senator Adams Oshiomhole challenged President Godswill Akpabio’s authority. In a viral video, Oshiomhole accused the leadership of pushing a rule amendment that creates a “serious moral crisis” in the upper chamber. He argued that introducing an eight-year continuous service requirement for Senate President would disqualify Akpabio himself, since he rose to leadership without meeting that threshold. Oshiomhole questioned why existing rules that served past leaders well should be altered now for personal gain. Calling the move manipulative, he warned that changing the rules narrows future competition. He closed with an emotional reminder that some truths, like the date of death, cannot be adjusted, underscoring his unwillingness to compromise on principle.
