Ahead of the first recess of the 10th Assembly, the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, mistakenly disclosed how money has been disbursed to members of the upper legislative chamber for them to enjoy their holidays.
In a viral video shared on Wednesday morning, the Senate President confirmed that the money had been sent to all Senators by the clerk of the National Assembly to enjoy their holiday.
Addressing his colleagues before the adjournment motion was moved, Akpabio said money has been sent by the clerk of the National Assembly to the senators to enjoy their holidays.
Speaking in the video, he said, “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.”
After deliberation with his colleagues, after he made the statement on the holiday token, he said, “I withdraw that statement.
“To allow you to enjoy your holiday, the Senate President has sent prayers to your mailboxes to assist you in going on a safe journey and returning.”
