Senator Adams Oshiomhole says Senate President Godswill Akpabio sees him as a “devil” and is paranoid about him. Oshiomhole makes the claim in an interview on the Mic on Podcast on Sunday, adding that Akpabio would have locked him out of the Senate if not for the circumstances at the time. He also says there are “many agents” around that Akpabio does not know, which he presents as part of the alleged suspicion directed at him.
Oshiomhole’s comments also include a prediction about the coming 11th Senate, saying it will not be like the 10th Senate. The outlets reporting on the story present Oshiomhole as the source of the allegations, and they do not include a response from Akpabio in the provided accounts. The remarks frame a dispute between prominent figures in Nigeria’s Senate leadership ahead of the next legislative term.
