The Communications and Strategy Office of the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, on Wednesday, issued a statement refuting media reports that Akpabio said he would be “eating while protesters are protesting”.
The consultant in charge of the office, Sir Kenny Okolugbo described the reports as “uncharitable” and motivated to bring Akpabio into conflict with the Nigerian masses.
According to Okolugbo, Akpabio was quoting the Managing Director of the NDDC, who stated that Niger Delta youths have never had it so good under the current leadership and would not be interested in regime change. Instead, they would “own the government” and be focused on benefiting from it.
