However, has Akpabio truly been impeached? We checked.

Akpabio was elected as the senate’s 10th president on 13 June 2023. Following his election, there were reports of some senators plotting to impeach him, citing concerns about his ability to carry out his duties.

However, his special adviser on media, Eseme Eyiboh, promptly dismissed these claims as “baseless”.

Furthermore, the senate itself has refuted the allegations of impeachment, asserting that Akpabio is indeed fit to hold office.
