The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has been accused by former Social Democratic Party (SDP) presidential candidate Adewole Adebayo of setting Nigeria on fire amid the controversy surrounding the electronic transmission of election results in real-time.
There has been outrage after the Senate last week passed the Electoral Act 2022 (Repeal and Reenactment) Amendment Bill 2026 through the third reading without approving the proposed amendment to Clause 60, Subsection 3, of the bill.
During an interview on Politics on Channels Television on Monday evening, Adebayo claimed that Akpabio decided to undermine democracy after receiving a text message from saboteurs.
Afterwards, he urged the senators to act as genuine representatives of the people to correct the situation.

“The way to salvage the situation is for Godswill Akpabio to remember his humble beginnings, to know that he is a nobody in Nigeria.
“He (Akpabio) is only a somebody today because of the will of the people of Akwa Ibom, who made him governor and also sent him to the National Assembly.
“He is not here to come and lecture us. He is not wiser than the next person.
“Where he is supposed to show leadership, he wants to make himself a mercenary to undermine democracy. The solution is for him to go back and repent,” the SDP chieftain added.
