Akpabio Debunk Social Media Rumors
Last week, Akpabio admonished Akpoti-Uduaghan, telling her not to speak as if she were in a "night club." Akpoti-Uduaghan had spoken without first being recognized by the Senate President.
A few weeks earlier, Senator Ireti Kingibe, representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), was silenced when she protested her exclusion from matters concerning the nation's capital.
Addressing the Senate on Tuesday, Akpabio stated he would never purposely disrespect any woman. The Senate President mentioned that both his phone and his wife's have been flooded with calls and messages, many of them containing insults.
“I would never intentionally demean any woman, and I continually pray for God to uplift women,” he said.
“Distinguished Senator Natasaha, I want to apologize to you.
“The interest shown In the social media shows that we have enemies. I felt I should tender a public apology to you. I do not mean any harm. People should concentrate on things that will move this country forward
“Social media handlers should practice with decorum. We won’t out of anger regulate social media.”
Akpabio also refuted social media claims that he has "numerous girlfriends."
“I have only one wife and she is enough for me,” he said.
