A throwback video of the current President of the Nigerian Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has resurfaced online, sparking a wave of reactions across social media.

The trending clip shows Akpabio, who was then a senator representing Akwa Ibom North-West Senatorial District, confronting the then Senate President, Bukola Saraki, over a disagreement regarding seating arrangements, which he felt were unfair to him. In the video, Akpabio can be seen asserting his rights and demanding an apology—either written or verbal—from the Senate for what had transpired.

In response, Bukola Saraki addressed the situation calmly and diplomatically.
Now, Nigerians are drawing comparisons between that incident and the recent case involving Senator Natasha. Many are pointing out the irony in how Akpabio, now Senate President himself, handled the matter that led to Senator Natasha’s suspension.

The viral video has triggered a flood of mixed reactions across platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and X (formerly known as Twitter).
Watch the video and share your thoughts in the comments.
