Senate President, Godswill Akpabio has said that reports stating that Department of State Services (DSS) earlier on Wednesday, took over the entrances of national assembly premises to stop an alleged impeachment plot against him are false.
Gatekeepers News reports that Akpabio dismissed the reports while speaking on the floor of the Senate.
Humorously, the senate president said those
behind the reports are seeking revenue from the traffic they could get on their websites.
He said, “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 referred the matter to special duties committee and asked that it report back to him promptly.
