The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has vowed to file a lawsuit against Senate President Godswill Akpabio over the comment he made during plenary on Tuesday, August 8, that a token had been sent to the accounts of each Senator as they proceed on recess.
In a statement released on its Twitter handle, SERAP announced that it was suing the Senate President over the comment.
“We’re suing the Senate President Godswill Akpabio over the alleged payments of “holiday allowances” by the Clerk of the National Assembly into the “various accounts” of senators while some 137 million poor Nigerians face severe economic hardship,” SERAP stated.
Akpabio’s gaffe stirred controversy across the nation, raising questions about the legitimacy and timing of such money transfers. Nigerians have since condemned the ‘’token” to be given to Senators saying it is both unjust and inconsiderate, particularly at a time when many Nigerians are struggling.
Details of the lawsuit, including the petitioners and the specific charges, are yet to be disclosed.
