Senate President Godswill Akpabio has, once again, gotten himself into trouble over his unguarded remarks during the funeral ceremony of the late CEO of Access Bank, Herbert Wigwe, his wife and son held on Saturday in Rivers State.
The former Akwa Ibom State governor got into the bad books of many when he tried to make a joke on the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi, who was also present at the funeral service.
While trying to make his speech, Akpabio had insinuated that the ovation he would get from members of the Redeemed Christian Church where Wigwe was a member, would not be as loud as what Obi would get since he (Akpabio) was not a presidential candidate.
