We demand Senator Godswill Akpabio's Resignation as Senate President SenAkpabiomustgo
The recent actions of Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, have raised serious concerns about his suitability to lead the Nigerian Senate. Specifically:
1. Disregard for Female Colleagues: Senator Akpabio has consistently demonstrated a lack of respect for his female colleagues, including Senator Natacha Akpoti Uduaghan. His actions have created a hostile and intimidating environment, undermining the ability of female senators to effectively represent their constituents.
2. Abuse of Power:Senator Akpabio has abused his position as Senate President to silence and intimidate opposition voices, including Senator Uduaghan. This behavior is unacceptable and has no place in a democratic institution.
3. Undermining Democracy: Senator Akpabio's actions have undermined the legitimacy and effectiveness of the Nigerian Senate. His behavior has created a toxic environment that discourages participation, stifles debate, and undermines the rule of law.
NILOWV's Demand

1. Address gender-based violence and promote the inclusion and empowerment of women.
