Epelle Critiques Akpabio's Leadership Tactics in Senate
Political commentator Jake Epelle criticized Senate President Godswill Akpabio for his ongoing leadership of the Nigerian Senate. In an interview on Channels TV, Epelle stated that public offices should be held according to established democratic principles, asserting that no individual has a permanent right to a position.
He recounted witnessing Akpabio at the State House, where he was "literally begging" President Tinubu to maintain his position. Epelle argued that the office of the Senate President is a constitutional role, not a personal entitlement or family inheritance.
He insisted that anyone in such a prominent public office must respect constitutional provisions and democratic principles, emphasizing that leadership should not be retained solely through personal relationships and political influence.
