Senate President Petitions DSS Over Alleged Anti-North Comment
By Ikugbadi Oluwasegun
Godswill Akpabio, President of the Senate, has petitioned the Department of State Services (DSS) over a fake anti-North statement allegedly attributed to him and circulating on social media.
In the petition signed by Jackson Udom, his Chief of Staff and made available to the media by his Special Assistant, Akpabio urged the DSS to urgently investigate and identify those responsible for creating and circulating the graphic.
The graphic falsely attributes to him a statement claiming that Northerners would be the hardest hit if President Bola Tinubu loses an election.
Akpabio’s office says the statement is completely fabricated, noting that there is no video, audio, speech, or credible report to substantiate the claim. It also accused those behind the graphic of attempting to mislead the public and provoke regional tension.
The Senate President has therefore called on security agencies to trace the origin of the graphic and identify those responsible for its distribution.
