NDF Defends Akpabio Against Oshiomhole's Claims

The Northern Democrat Front (NDF) issued a statement defending Godswill Akpabio, the Senate President, in response to allegations made by Adam Oshiomhole concerning the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and Senate leadership. The NDF expressed concern over Oshiomhole's remarks during a recent interview, urging public officials to support verifiable evidence and allow relevant institutions to address claims of wrongdoing.

The group emphasized the need for due process and respect for democratic institutions, arguing that public accusations should be avoided in favor of established legal channels. They specifically rejected claims linking Akpabio's family to appointments within the NNPCL and called for anyone with contrary information to present documented proof.

The NDF reaffirmed its commitment to accountability and transparency in governance, advocating for constructive debate among political leaders to strengthen public confidence in government institutions.
