Senator Adams Oshiomhole (APC, Edo North) has accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of harbouring a bias against him, alleging that the Senate leader is suspicious of his activities and influence within the National Assembly.

Speaking on the Sunday edition of Mic On Podcast, Oshiomhole claimed that Akpabio is “paranoid” whenever he interacts with some senators and suggested that the Senate President would exclude him from the chamber if given the opportunity.

He added that he could not explain the reason for what he described as Akpabio’s bias, despite his role as a founding member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and his contribution to President Bola Tinubu’s election victory in 2023.

He said, “Don’t forget that I was a founding governor of the APC and deputy DG of Bola Tinubu Campaign Council that gave us victory. I’m not saying I am responsible for the victory, but I worked for it, and I’m happy we got it.
