The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has dismissed the reports of a plot by some Senators to impeach him.
A report claimed that the Department of State Services (DSS) had taken over the national assembly premises to stop the alleged impeachment plot against Akpabio.
Senator Akpabio while presiding over plenary on Tuesday described it as fake news fabricated by mischief makers.
The President of the Senate urged members of the public to disregard such news and warned all those circulating deliberate falsehood to refrain from such acts.
Senator Akpabio explained that there is peace in the Senate and there is no consideration for an impeachment by any section of the parliarment.
However, the Matter has been referred to the Senates Committee on Public Services for Further investigation and legislative action.
“[They said DSS] has surrounded the national assembly to possibly stop the impeachment of principal officers.
“There is no limit to social media… we are sitting down here doing our work peacefully oblivious of the mischief.
“Which committee do we refer this to? (laughter).
“I understand that they are being paid if they have a lot of traffic, but I hope the public is aware that this is total fake news”, Akpabio said.
