Senate Denies Senior officers Impeachment Rumour

ABUJA: The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio has reacted to social media reports alleging that the Department of States Service (DSS) had surrounded the National Assembly amidst a potential impeachment threat against  him and other principal officers..

Rumors have circulated that Senate Majority Leader may be maneuvering to take over the Senate to block the impeachment process against several Senate officers. Allegedly, he aims to maintain stability by halting proceedings that could lead to a contentious and divisive trial.

Critics argue this move threatens democratic accountability and could set a dangerous precedent of shielding officials from legitimate scrutiny. Proponents, however, say Dee’s approach is pragmatic, suggesting that halting the impeachment process could help avoid a lengthy disruption in Senate functions and allow focus on critical legislative priorities.

The situation remains highly controversial and closely watched
