The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has made fun
of Bauchi Central Senator, Abdul Ningi, while taunting the opposition parties
over the outcome of last governorship election in Edo State.
Akpabio during the plenary on Wednesday after the
senators allowed Governor Monday Okpebholo into the chamber to bid them
farewell, said the opposition parties are yet to believe that the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC) won.
Akpabio said the APC senators were happy with
Okpebholo but the opposition senators were not.
The Senate President also mocked Ningi for not
commenting on the election on the floor of the Senate over fear of being
sanctioned by the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He said, “This side (majority senators) is excited
because they won. This side (minority senators) is quiet because they still
can’t believe that they lost. But I must say that even here, some are
indifferent because their political party did not contest, that is APGA.
“For the first time, Senator Ningi did not raise his
hand because he does not want to make the mistake of saying something, and when
he leaves here, his political party will go and sanction him.”
Okpebholo served as the senator representing Edo
Central for two years before his inauguration as governor on 12 November.
