The Senate Deputy Chief Whip, Senator Onyekachi Peter Nwebonyi, has cautioned against what he describes as politically motivated falsehoods aimed at destabilizing the Senate, urging Nigerians to see through attempts to manipulate the institution for personal or political gain.
His statement comes in response to former Senate President Abubakar Bukola Saraki’s recent remarks calling for transparency in handling allegations against the current Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
However, Nwebonyi argues that Saraki’s case—centered on an administrative issue concerning an official vehicle—was vastly different from the current allegations against Akpabio, which he says are unsubstantiated and timed to avoid disciplinary proceedings.
