Senate President Godswill Akpabio bit more than he could chew when he mistakenly disclosed that money had been sent to his colleagues “to enjoy your holiday”.
Forgetting that the proceeding was being captured on live camera, the senate president spoke confidently.
As soon as Senator Umahi takes his oath of office, we shall rearrange the office of the leadership.”
“In order to enable all of us to enjoy our holidays, a token has been sent to our various accounts by the Clerk of the National Assembly,” he said.
Realising what was at stake, a senator rushed to him to make him realise that he was on air.
In his response, Akpabio said, “I withdraw that statement. In order to allow you to enjoy your holiday, the senate president has sent prayers to your mailboxes to assist you to go on a safe journey and return.”
