The Senate President bid of Senator Godswill Akpabio may suffer a massive setback following a fresh revelation that there is a plot by the minority senators and factional lawmakers of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to upstage him.
Recall that Akpabio was selected by the national working committee of the APC and anointed by president-elect Bola Tinubu as the preferred candidate for the coveted legislative seat.

He stated that most senators backing him are only stooges waiting to strike and crush his ambition to become the next senate president.
Bwala said:
"Godswill Akpabio would not be elected as Senate President. The cloud gathering against his aspiration is heavy and thick.
"It is not motivated by religion, but regional and well as the revenge of the coalition of all foes. Most of the senators following him are not with him."

Meanwhile, there was mixed reaction on social media following the viral tweet of Atikus's aide on the chances of Senator Akpabio becoming the next Senate President.
@maidugu said:
"We shall see. That was how you've shouted promoting @atiku until you kissed the dust. That was how you battled Muslim Muslim ticket until you went into irrelevance. Akpabio will be your final blunder. Get a second address."
Similarly, Sesan Isaac O with the Twitter handle @oluoloni accused Bwala of making the same postulations about the presidential bid of Bola Ahmed Tinubu in which his prediction failed.
He said:
"You said same for Asiwaju and you were disgraced at the end of the day. Why you no dey reason sef??"
@kayce_don who gave a more objective view on Bwala's tweet, said:
"He simply made a postulation nd that shouldn’t call for an abuse, it is either u agree or disagree wit his thought."
