‘Trump is on our neck’, Akpabio rejects ‘bow and go’ treatment for ex-CDS Musa

Senate President Godswill Akpabio, on Wednesday, firmly rejected calls for a “bow and go” clearance for former Chief of Defence Staff and ministerial nominee, Gen. Christopher Musa (rtd), insisting that the nation’s security situation, and even international scrutiny, required a thorough, public interrogation.

The session turned chaotic after Senator Sani Musa (Niger East) proposed that the nominee be allowed to take a bow without fielding questions.

His motion was instantly met with loud objections, as several lawmakers stood up at once, shouting down the suggestion and plunging the chamber into disorder.

A visibly angered Senator Garba Maidoki (Kebbi South) confronted the Senate President’s desk, insisting that Musa must be questioned, especially given the country’s deepening security crises.

Akpabio intervened to restore order, stressing that the Senate could not waive scrutiny for a nominee expected to oversee the nation’s defence architecture at a critical time.

Standing up from his seat, the Senate President said, “If we come here and do politics, this is not the time for politics of ‘bow and go’. Even Donald Trump is on our neck. We’ve not asked him what his response will be to Donald Trump. He is not just anybody, former Chief of Defence Staff?”

Referencing the abduction of more than 200 schoolchildren from St Mary’s Catholic School, Papiri in Niger State, Akpabio said Nigerians deserved direct answers and reassurance from the defence nominee.

“With over 200 children in the bush being tortured, give the man an opportunity to give Nigerians hope. His appointment is being heralded all over the country. Our constituents want to hear from him. We are asking him these questions because they would ask him the same.”

Following the Senate President’s intervention, calm returned to the chamber, and lawmakers proceeded with a full screening of the retired military officer.

The screening exercise began shortly after Akpabio, read Tinubu’s request during plenary, urging lawmakers to consider and approve the ex-CDS as a replacement for Mohammed Badaru, who resigned on Monday.

After reading the letter, Akpabio directed suspension of Senate rules to allow the nominee into the chamber for the proper screening.

God bless Trump. The NASS must get Sense by force

Our senators are now doing eye service for the US..

(shakes head and storms out of thread in immense anger)

Trump fe fun won lorun pa, ofe fun won pa. Apology to Ambode.

Trump is more important than 200 million Nigerians abi? Have you no shame that the outsider is the one you fear than your people? And you call yourselves representative of the people? I remember the remarks this Akpabio made about the poor people of Nigeria when he started his tenure as Senate President.

Bullies only bow to a bigger bully. Tinubu paid no mind to the outcry of Nigerians until Trump came into the picture. He has since declared an emergency on security, nominated ambassadors, sacked a minister of defence, etc. He obviously rates Trump more than the people whom elected him.

God bless the best president in the world and slayer of APC terrorists organization, Donald J Trump.

The slayer of Tinubu and his APC government

That's the way Helinues and Yamrimo love it so do not interfere at all. Both love anything suffering and smiling

Nigeria senators sometimes act comedians so as to reduce the buildup tensions they indirectly create in the citizenry.
Comic relief is good for a nation in coma.

Nigeria shall be great again.


Tinubu, a bad man with good intentions

As in look at what senate president is capping from his gutter

Akpabio is the worst of them in that place

gosh!!!!

Shameless bunch.

Trump abeg threaten INEC chairman against 2027 elections.

Abeg trump, God bless you sir

Banning sharia law will not change anything. There is a need for the renegotiation of this entity called Nigeria

Are we really one? Is the orientation of the North in alignment with that of the South? Is there a sense of unity, purpose and nationhood among the ethnic groups that makes up this country?

The problem of Nigeria is beyond sharia law and hisbah. It is even beyond this so called fulani bandit. The earlier we accept and start working towards a peaceful dismembering of this entity called Nigeria, the better for us all.

Nigeria is an artificial creation, it is not organic. Issues like sharia, fulani bandit, boko haram, militancy etc, are not the real problem. They are just symptoms of the problem.

Tinubu is an overated politician who believes he can achieve anything through corruption. But Trump has tought him a lesson of a lifetime.

That's what pressure can do. It brings out the best from you.

The worse assembly in the history of Nigeria.
Pot bellies thiveeeeees.

The Most shameless Senate President Nigeria ever had.

Ahmad Lawan is a million times better than this womaniser

House of comedy. Bunch of jokers.

But tell yourself the TRUTH!

WHAT HAS THE SO CALLED 200MILLION NIGERIANS DONE TO PUT THESE SO CALLED LEGISLATORS ON THEIR FEET?


Even the top presidential candidates no rate the so-called 200millions Nigerians, dem no give wuna better debate on wetin dem go do, they have to go to 'Cha' house go tell dem wetin dem wan do for us.

When Nigerians ready for change, they know what to do.

Good one, apply and sustain pressure. Also acknowledge progress. That's how a nation and patriotism works. Donald Trump was referred to in passing though, not that he's the reason for the questioning. The Senate had a hot debate about it, that even the SP had to stand, and threaten, and explain for order to be restored.
Not the extremes of flattery or bitter wailing and hypocrisy all through.

Obong God's will Obot Akapabio is a great leader and an uncommon transformer.



Akwaibom will always be proud of you Sir.

This senate President is the worst since 1999.
There are 2 things this man find difficult to control & it isn't helping him;
(1). His mouth
(2). His 3rd leg.

Press their neck well, we'll. Fire dey go Trump

Akpabio is just shameless. It takes Trump to speak before the Senate does the right thing.

Zero regard for Nigerians because they know INEC and the Judiciary is in their pocket

So, Ideally he would have bowed and left as usual 😭😭😭😭
Person wey say "JaPa to a sane country" no good that person no go sleep well

All we want is for our leaders to lead us the best way
