Recurrent votes of confidence under Akpabio shows there’s crises in Senate —Ex-PDP spokesman

Kola Ologbondiyan, former National Publicity Secretary of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), has expressed concern over the repeated votes of confidence passed o Senate President Godswill Akpabio, describing the trend as “worrisome.”

Ologbondiyan made the remarks during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Thursday evening.

The Senate had earlier on Thursday passed a unanimous vote of confidence in Akpabio, following a motion moved by Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele (Ekiti Central) and seconded by Deputy Minority Leader Olarere Oyewumi (Osun West). This latest vote came just 48 hours after suspended Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan addressed the Inter-Parliamentary Union in New York, where she reiterated her sexual harassment allegations against Akpabio.
