Activist lawyer, Maduabuchi Idam, on Saturday, said the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, should vacate the Senate following the resurfaced video of him saying people should eat wherever they see food.
The footage of Akpabio had generated uproar in the social media space with Nigerians calling for his removal from office.
Faulting Akpabio’s remarks, Idam recalled how the Senate President dished out two million to senators for enjoyment.
To this end, the constitutional lawyer charged Nigerians to hold their leaders responsible for their conduct and demand apologies for misconduct in office.
In a statement, Idam said: “Saying that “Nigerians should eat wherever they find food” was quite an honest advice but sadly hypocritical advice, given that the advisor does not and would not eat just anywhere he finds food.
“A Senate President who announced braggingly before Nigerians that he would be enjoying and watching from television with his family while hungry Nigerians are protesting as a result of hunger had long stripped himself of empathy or emotion.
