Office of the President of the Senate has dismissed as malicious and completely fabricated a publication by an online platform, Rant HQ, falsely attributing a reckless statement to the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Senate President, Hon. Eseme Eyiboh.
The post — which reads, “The killing is taking place in Nigeria not in USA, Trump should focus on US. Nigerians are not complaining about the killings, we are fully satisfied with the condition of Nigeria”
Hon. Eyiboh described the report as a total falsehood and a product of mischief, aimed at creating diplomatic misunderstanding between Senator Akpabio and President Trump, as well as straining Nigeria’s relations with its international partners.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the Senate President never made such a statement — not publicly, privately, in writing, or in conversation. We challenge the publishers of this falsehood to produce a single shred of evidence,” Eyiboh said.
He added that Senator Akpabio is a statesman of global repute and a strong advocate of diplomacy and mutual respect among nations.
“The Senate President holds President Donald Trump in high regard as a historic figure and a leader of a great nation.
He would never comment on internal matters of the United States or make statements outside the purview of Nigeria’s Executive arm of government,” the statement clarified.
Hon. Eyiboh condemned the publication as an act of digital recklessness and deliberate misinformation aimed at sowing confusion and damaging reputations.
He, therefore, urged the public to disregard the post entirely and rely only on verified information from credible sources.
The statement reaffirmed that the Office of the Senate President remains committed to transparency, truth, and responsible communication both in Nigeria and internationally.
