The Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District Professionals (IK-PRO) have accused former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of attempting to destabilize President Bola Tinubu’s administration by targeting Senate President Godswill Akpabio. The group claims Atiku’s allegations of corruption against Akpabio are politically motivated and aimed at undermining the current leadership ahead of the 2027 elections. They emphasize Atiku’s credibility issues, pointing out former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s criticisms of Atiku’s character.
IK-PRO also highlights the collective decision-making in the National Assembly, including on matters concerning Rivers State, rejecting Atiku’s selective criticism of Akpabio. The group argues that Atiku’s attack on Akpabio is part of a broader agenda to weaken the Senate’s leadership. Despite these allegations, IK-PRO asserts that Akpabio’s leadership remains committed to supporting the government through effective legislation and oversight.
