Akpabio Intervenes As Nigerians Mock Senator Who Wants Poor Abuja Villagers Relocated (Video)

Senator Godswill Akpabio shone like a star on Tuesday after he led the Senate to interrupt the move by Senator Onyekachi Nwebonyi, representing Ebonyi North Senatorial District to displace poor villagers living in the areas around the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

Senator Nwebonyi had brought forward a motion for the poor people in the area to be relocated from their villages on the claim that the villages were an eyesore during descent into the federal capital.

According to him the villages should be replaced with skyscrapers to give the kind of impression of a prosperous Nigeria.

Reminded by Senator Akpabio that the lands belonged to people, the Ebonyi senator who has for long courted controversy stood his ground insisting that the image the villages presented did not fit the impressive décor that the administration was making of the federal capital.

His motion was supported by a few senators but quickly shot down by the majority of senators who castigated Nwebonyi for chasing shadows when his constituents were under constant attack of herdsmen and such.

GWG.ng reports that the clip of Senator Nwebonyi progressing in what many thought as political foolery has been trending with many netizens flaying his suggestion.

GWG.ng gathered some of the reactions:

Ka-sha-mi @ahilekashami

As a senator, even if you are naturally stupid, at least surround yourself with bright people. If he did, someone would have stopped him from embarrassing himself like this. I think this man is suffering from the type of stupidity that makes small men to start mistaking

Nedu Brave  @nedubrave

You guys don’t understand how this people work, They already planned to destroy people’s houses, they will just pay one idiotic senator to move it as a motion so that it will be on record that the Senate approves it before they demolish the houses, SMH 

Zionstar @zionstar77

He is from ebonyi that still has mud houses and primitive people. Example all the gala boys on the highways are from his state. All the girls that sells abacha in V.I are from his village.

This senator is always controversial & loud with emptiness. He didn’t talk about the state of the Abuja airport itself & he is talking about the people’s villages & all. Useless submission!
