Akpabio Said He Would Have Locked Me Out of the Senate, Oshiomhole Claims.

Edo North Senator Adams Oshiomhole said that Senate President Godswill Akpabio believes he is “the devil,” and that Akpabio has many unknown agents.

Oshiomhole made the comment during a Mic on Podcast interview on Sunday, warning that the 11th Senate will differ from the 10th Senate.

When asked whether he had become a threat to Akpabio, the former Edo state governor noted that fellow senators are quietly complaining about Akpabio’s leadership style.

“He is paranoid about everything that has to do with me. Everyone in the Senate knows that if Akpabio has his way, he will lock me out of the Senate because he has misled himself into thinking that I’m probably the devil he knows,” he said.

“However, there are many agents he doesn’t know, and the 11th Senate will not be the 10th Senate. This I can say, senators are groveling about his style of leadership,” he added.

The sour relationship between the two former governors, who are now senators, began when the Senate amended its rules ahead of the 2027 political cycle.

The rift escalated into a volatile shouting match on the floor of the Nigerian Senate when the upper chamber amended Orders 4 and 5 of its standing rules.
