The Senate President's office just shut down some fake appointment gossip. Senator Godswill Akpabio's media team dismissed social media claims linking him to a role within a political support group called Team Akpabio for Tinubu. They labeled statements from a person named Hon. Aondoaver Nyakuma as completely false and misleading.
The office stated Akpabio has no affiliation or operational knowledge of that group's internal affairs. Such voluntary associations form independently without requiring his approval or endorsement. The clarification noted that the Senate President does not know Nyakuma and never appointed anyone to a position within such circles.
Addressing implied tensions, the office mentioned Akpabio maintains a cordial institutional relationship with Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia. It stressed that the Senate President has no personal dispute with him. His national constitutional role does not obligate intervention in intra-state political matters.
The statement urged the public and media to disregard narratives tying Akpabio to private group grievances. His office emphasized a focus on his official duties over unfounded claims from external entities.
