Lawyer Idam: Senate President Akpabio Deserves Impeachment for Misconduct

#9ja Talks Activist lawyer Madubuachi Idam has called for the impeachment of Senate President Godswill Akpabio, citing gross misconduct and abuse of power.

Idam also criticized Kogi Senator Natasha Akpoti, accusing both lawmakers of turning the Senate into a spectacle. He condemned the ongoing clashes between Akpabio and Natasha as disgraceful, asserting that the Senate President has repeatedly demonstrated poor leadership in managing the Senate’s affairs. The controversy between the two lawmakers began when Natasha returned to the Senate chamber and discovered that her seat had been reassigned. Refusing to accept the change, she openly challenged the decision, leading to a heated confrontation with Akpabio. In a viral video, Natasha was seen confronting the Senate President, declaring, *“I’m not afraid of you.” Reacting to the incident, Idam emphasized that impeachment is a legitimate democratic process, not an act of rebellion. “The constant controversies surrounding Akpabio have reduced the National Assembly to a joke,” Idam said in a statement. “More embarrassing is that both Akpabio and Natasha have taken their dispute to the Brekete Family show for mediation.” He further criticized Akpabio’s leadership style, stating: “Akpabio has repeatedly failed to conduct himself with the decorum expected of his office. He often makes public blunders and does not uphold the dignity of the Senate. As a result, the credibility and influence of the National Assembly have been significantly eroded under his leadership.” Idam urged lawmakers to recognize that impeachment is a lawful and necessary mechanism for maintaining accountability. “Akpabio’s actions warrant impeachment for gross misconduct and abuse of power. The sooner legal measures are initiated, the stronger Nigeria’s democracy will become,” he concluded. This version improves clarity, structure, and readability while maintaining the original message.
