The Niger Delta Women League (NDWL) has asked Senate President Godswill Akpabio to resign his position as a Senate President or face impeachment.
In a statement released and signed on Monday by the association president, Sheila Abiye Tamuno and ten other stakeholders, the women condemned the Senate leader over the recent outburst during plenary sessions at the Senate.
They portrayed the emergence of Senator Akpabio as Nigerian Senate president as a disgrace to the country and the Niger Delta region due to his alleged history of corruption cases.
In the press statement:“For a man under investigation by anti-corruption agencies for multiple levels of sleaze to be handed the sacred position of the President of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is a joke taken too far, making our dear Country a laughing stock to the International Community.
“The same Akpabio who, in the guise of supervising the NDDC forensic audit, rather used the period under review as a cover to heartlessly plunder the Commission and entire Niger Delta region to the tune of #1.4 Trillion Naira, using Akwa as sole Administrator.
“The same act he committed without Senate approval amounting to extra-budgetary expenditure.”
