Akpabio says he travelled to Rome to pray for Tinubu, Nigeria and end to banditry, terrorism and insecurity

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has said he travelled to Italy to pray for President Bola Tinubu, Nigeria, and an end to insecurity, banditry and terrorism.

Akpabio spoke in a viral video after visiting the Prayer Ground of St. Padre Pio in San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy, where he said he embarked on what he described as a “slight pilgrimage” and spiritual journey.

He said his prayers covered Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, members of the National Assembly, the Federal Executive Council and Nigerians generally.

“Well, I had to go to Italy and, you know, Rome is the capital of the Catholic Church and the world’s capital when it comes to Christianity,” Akpabio said.

“From there I touched Saint Padre Pio Mazzolio and I did supplications. I prayed not just for the president, not just for myself, the vice president and all members of the Senate and National Assembly and the Federal Executive Council.


“I prayed for Nigeria as a whole and I also prayed against insecurity that God should free us from insecurity. I prayed against banditry. I prayed against terrorism.”

The Senate President said his decision was based on his Christian belief that efforts to protect the country also require divine intervention.

“And it might look funny but it’s the truth because in our own religion, we believe that unless God protects the house, the watchmen watch in vain,” he said.

“And so I decided to take this slight pilgrimage, a spiritual journey to pray for Nigeria. I believe strongly.”

The visit comes as Nigeria continues to face attacks, kidnappings and other forms of insecurity. Human Rights Watch said insecurity remained prevalent across the country in 2025, while ACLED continues to track violent incidents and militant activity in Nigeria in 2026.

In August, a mass kidnapping in Niger State involving hundreds of people prompted President Tinubu to order security agencies to intensify efforts to rescue the victims.

More recently, Nigerian authorities began the trial of five suspected Ansaru members over alleged involvement in the abduction of students and teachers in Oyo State, highlighting the continuing threat posed by militant groups.

Akpabio’s visit also comes ahead of the 2027 general elections. Reports on the trip said he prayed not only for an end to banditry and terrorism but also for peaceful elections.

Instead of working they're are busy praying, prayer have never solve anything in this country stop fooling yourself..
That is why I love listening to Ibrahim Traore...
When he speaks you see braveness and intelligence unlike our leaders full of inferiority...

A country where clowns and jesters are in authority. Nigeria has never had it this low.

The end of these imbeciles will never be pleasant. They dehumanize the citizens of this nation with an utter impunity never seen in history.

A useless thief. A senator in the chambers you preside over is implicated in arming bandits who are wanted for killing thousands of people all over Nigeria. Your voice was not found. You didn't call on the security agencies to thoroughly investigate the matter.
When Senator Oshiomole moved to have defense funding and expenses investigated, it got suppressed in the senate. It would have been uncomfortable for it to be revealed that something worse than Dasukigate went down under the APC led government. The opacity in Nigeria's arms procurement is the perfect conduit for stealing public funds.

A vibrant senate led by a capable president would have seen to the root of all these. The senate is meant to be a check on the executive not a rubber stamp.

Saying you are praying for Nigeria when you refuse to take action your powers as senate president grants you, is making a mockery of the god you claim to pray to. This government is simply an embarrassment.

Prayer without work is dead
Tinubu said he should be voted out if he fails in specific crucial sectors of the economy.

Chai. Nigeria is finished

Abi e carry woman go on vacation too..

Our amiable Senate President.

You will retain your position by next year.

Who is gonna beat the legendary dullness of this rubber-stamped senator?

At first the caption is funny but then that is what it is.

Nigerians are hungry and the situation is growing, tinubu need to do something if he still want to have people to govern just the few months to his tenure expiration.

Tinubu had reduced many family to one square of meal now. The one sef no be all fit afford now. He said we should endure but he went to France, stays in a hotel worth $10,000-$16,000 per night. What a cruise.

This guy likes to joke. Lol, even the Roman's do not pray for daily manner.

In Duncan mighty's voice.. " Akpabio dey pray,em dey cast and bind" anything wey go make Dem lose....

Racoon:

Tell your lying machine to stop taking us for granted.

Warn him severely that Nigerians are not fools.

Warn obi and speak to him in the language he understands.

How can you be telling lies and be asking us to go and verify.

Obi is a ridiculous debtor.

Why lying to us that you left billions of naira when in truth, you left millions of dollars in debt.

Yet, Anambra State became the Southern Nigeria poverty capital under his watch.

Obi is an evil and a chronic debtor.

Let him know that we are not happy with him.

Thank you.

When it’s time to tell the masses to pray for Nigeria, he won’t sponsor them to Rome but he can go to Rome to pray for Nigeria. I know what he is 👉🏽

Akpabio know say dem don help Tinubu spoil things so na to pray make God epp dem win because dem know say the chances dey very slim🤗

Tinubu is not in the country, the VP is not in the country, now the senate President is outside the country praying for us. What a Banana republic.

Lolzzzzz 🤣

Lolzzzzz 🤣

Lolzzzzz 🤣


The number of fuuls that will vote dis 🤡 in 2027 should be sent to zoological garden
