Allegations An Attempt, Mask Your Failure – Akpabio Hits Back At Abbo
The Office of the Senate President has dismissed fresh allegations by former Senator Elisha Abbo, describing the accusations as “spurious and malicious.”
Senator Godswill Akpabio’s spokesperson, Rt. Hon. Eseme Eyiboh, in a statement on Wednesday, accused Abbo of spreading misinformation and attempting to shift blame for his removal from the Senate.
The statement refuted claims that the Senate President played any role in Abbo’s ouster, describing the accusations as “spurious and malicious.”
He alleged that Abbo was only trying to rewrite history in order to mask his own failure.
The statement emphasized that Akpabio, a lawyer and democrat, respects the judiciary’s independence and would not interfere in its processes. It also criticized Abbo for reversing his stance and reigniting allegations he had previously withdrawn.
Addressing Abbo’s complaints about unpaid benefits, the Senate President’s office clarified that all financial and administrative approvals follow due process. “If any of Mr. Abbo’s claims for payment did not reach the desk of the Senate President, it is because they failed to meet lawful standards—not because of any personal or political vendetta,” the statement asserted.
