Akpabio Under Fire  Over “Money Has Been Sent To Senators For Holiday’s  Comment 

For Announcing  Jumbo  Holiday Allowance  for his colleagues  the Senate President Godswill Akpabio  has come under fire .

Some furious Nigerians have taken the Akpabio to the Cleaners  describing his action as not only insensitive but condemnable .

They wondered why the supposed People’s Representatives were eating and living large  when the poor masses are going through painful exuerunce occasioned by fuel subsidy payment removal.

In a viral video shared on Wednesday morning, the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, revealed that money had been sent to all Senators by the clerk of the National Assembly to enjoy their holiday.

Addressing his colleagues before the adjournment motion was moved, Akpabio said money has been sent by the clerk of the National Assembly to the senators to enjoy their holidays.

Speaking in the video, he said, “In order to enable all of us to enjoy our holidays, a token has been sent to our various accounts by the clerk of the national assembly.”

After deliberation with his colleagues, after he made the statement on the holiday token, he said, “I withdraw that statement.

“In order to allow you to enjoy your holiday, the senate president has sent prayers to your mailboxes to assist you to go on a safe journey and return.”

Reacting, a Netizen, Uyi Samuel tweeted: They keep sharing money meanwhile Nigerians are suffering this is an Act of wickedness.”

Bashiru Akanbi: “We don’t have leaders, but politicians. The earliest we recognise these men are leaches and parasites to this blessed nation the better we have a chance in moving ahead.”

Ernest Rutherford also tweeted: “The annoying part is that these bunch of thieves just sit down in the hall doing nothing, year in and year out, and still share tax payer’s money at every given opportunity.”

Kassandra Ugochukwu tweeted: “The era of ‘Ghana Must Go bags’ are over, the APC era is for tokens in their bank accounts or emails… It’s no wonder they no longer fight on the floor of the house and none of them brings in thugs or hijacks the mace to his village…It all Rubber Stamps or Paper marks.”

Rotimi Ebenezer wrote: “Nigerian politicians and corruption were just 5&6. He change it when he realise he was still on national tv! God bless Nigeria.”

Also reacting, IAmGtreal tweeted: “Disgraceful conduct in the Senate house, rowdy and unorganised.”

Taymee also tweeted: “No worries, we deserve all the despair and suffering until we get sense by force ..the electorate is more than the elected yet the elected eat better than the electorate… Nigeria is unreal!.”

Another Twitter user who simply goes by the name Peace on the social networking app tweeted: “Just look at this shameless Nig senators. Meanwhile, people can’t even afford to put on a generator from 7-10 pm again. A shame.”

Smiling Judge also tweeted: “Absurd, it’s a pity we’re in such a dilemma.”
