Senate President Godswill Akpabio Has Been Impeached? – Fact Emerge
A video circulating on Facebook claims that Nigeria’s senate president, Godswill Akpabio, has been impeached.
In the video, the speaker expresses his happiness about the news and encourages other users to share the post. The video, dated 17 September 2023, carries the caption: “Breaking: Senators Begin Process To #Impeach Senate President Akpabio For Serving The Interest Of Tinubu Instead Of Serving The Interest Of The Nation …”
Impeachment involves the process of removing a president or senior official from office, typically when they face criminal charges.

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.
