This statement came in response to claims made by Senator Elisha Abbo, asserting that the Senate President influenced the judgment of the Court of Appeal leading to his removal from the Senate.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday, Eyiboh expressed astonishment at the allegations made by the former Adamawa North senator, characterizing Abbo's claims as "delinquent, provocative, and unbecoming of a Distinguished Senator."
The Senate President's spokesperson said the outcome of any court proceeding is determined by the careful evaluation of facts and evidence within the purview of the rule of law.
He said, “It is uncharitable for Senator Abbo to pour his frustrations on Senator Akpabio or anyone else and his action betrays the bile he has for Senator Akpabio.
“Democracy is founded in the rule of law, so for anybody to accuse one of the strong agents of democracy and governance in the mould of Senator Godswill Akpabio, such an individual must be a monument of self-pity and his swansong a discordant escape from reality.”
He further explained that, “Senator Akpabio for emphasis has no ill-will towards any of his distinguished colleagues and as he has said in the past, the embers of the leadership election have been buried and replaced by the fraternal bond of nation building he shares with the overwhelming majority of senators.”
Recall, Senator Abbo recently expressed his grievances during a media briefing, where he held the Senate President responsible for his recent removal by the National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal.
He also voiced his suspicions of a concerted effort to unseat three other APC Senators who opposed Akpabio's bid for the Senate President position during the election for principal officers in June.
Abbo specifically said, former Abia State Governor and now Senator, Orji Kalu, was next in line in the sack plot.
