A petition has been filed with the Department of State Services. This action was taken by Senator Godswill Akpabio, President of the Senate, regarding a statement allegedly made by him. The statement in question supposedly contains a threat against Northerners if a certain election outcome occurs.

Further details about the petition are available, including the circumstances surrounding the alleged statement. A graphic with Akpabio's image and title was reportedly circulated on digital platforms.

The petition seeks an urgent investigation into the creation and dissemination of the statement, which Akpabio describes as false and inflammatory.
