Mr Akpabio said senators of the PDP and other parties have yet to come to terms with Governor Okpebholo's victory in the 21 September poll.

The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, says the opposition parties have yet to believe that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) won the last governorship election in Edo State.

Mr Akpabio also made fun of Bauchi Central Senator Abdul Ningi for not commenting on the election on the floor of the Senate for fear of being sanctioned by the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The senate president made the comments during the plenary on Wednesday after the senators allowed Governor Monday Okpebholo into the chamber to bid them farewell.

Mr Okpebholo served as the senator representing Edo Central for two years before his inauguration as governor on 12 November.

After the governor entered the chamber, Mr Akpabio said the APC senators were happy with him, but the opposition senators were not.

“This side (majority senators) is excited because they won. This side (minority senators) is quiet because they still can’t believe that they lost. But I must say that even here, some are indifferent because their political party did not contest, that is APGA.

“For the first time, Senator Ningi did not raise his hand because he does not want to make the mistake of saying something, and when he leaves here, his political party will go and sanction him,” he said.

Recently, the Senate Caucus of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) claimed that the candidate of the party, Asuerinme Ighodalo, won the 21 September Edo governorship election.

The Caucus led by the Senate Minority Leader, Abba Moro, insisted that the PDP’s mandate was stolen in the state and vowed that the party would work hard to retrieve it.

The national and state leaderships of the PDP and Mr Ighodalo also rejected the outcome of the election, alleging that it was manipulated.

Mr Ighodalo has since filed a petition before the state tribunal to challenge the declaration of Mr Okpebholo as the winner of the election.

The Edo Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, sitting in Benin City, held its inaugural session on Monday ahead of pre-hearing sittings.

You'll think this Akpabio was never in this opposition before. Take whatever he says seriously at your own risk.

Here is Akpabio having to correct his slip that they rig elections under PDP. If he could say this when he was a PDP governor, why can't he say things like this as an APC Senator

Why you no mock the video of the selected governor making f00l of himself.

This man 😞😪🤦‍♂️

It’s lighthearted banter amongst colleagues, there’s no need to make it seem like it’s something that it’s not.

That Edo state own na uppercut and Ondo come be Straight knockout to election losers like Atiku and Bitter Hoebi.

Person wey no fit mention his budget figures, that one na governor? Only in Nigeria you can be watching all this unedited dramas in the name of governance.

Hope you no be illiterate like Opebholo

This thick faced man is always talking like someone who's suffering from diarrhea of the mouth.
He doesn't talk like an Honorable member of the senate, how much more a senate president.

The CJN, Kekeren Ekun should see for herself one of the reasons why Nigerians are disparaging the judiciary. Akpabio and Lawal came to the senate under questionable judicial judgement delivered by a cash n carry Janjawe'ed corrupt Judge.

Nigeria is fantastically corrupt.

Lol... Akpabio, how many years were you a member of the same opposition?!!

The same opposition you ran and won as Governor for 2 tenures.

This is why Jagaban can never be on the same level with you people... No wonder he despises and uses you idiots disdainfully.

How can people be so deprived of intellectual reasoning hence shallow and insensitive comments.

These ones can’t even aspire for any office in developed places where track record on merit is the basis for appoint or election.

Akpamumu idiotic criminal

Una get luck say many among us (Nigerians) too m u m u. Imagine rigging elections and still mocking the "losers"


If na Syria una dey, you people won't even have any strength left in your bodies to yarn dust.

Very soon all opposition parties will boycott all elections so APC and INEC can fully work together without any disturbance since the current INEC was created to serve only APC.If this Edo election that was free & fair and far better than June 12 is not overturned, that’s what will happen.

He said, he strike out the name or the person who won the election.., and in his defence, he said it was before during the in-house arrangement before the primary.
