President of the Senate Godswill Akpabio has expressed appreciated his colleagues for passing a vote of confidence on him amid allegations of sexual harassment by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
This is coming on the heels of vote of confidence passed on him after a remark by Leader of the senate Opeyemi Bamidele at the Thursday’s plenary session.
According to Galaxy TV, Akpabio who was absent during the first part of Thursday’s session returned to thank his colleagues for their gesture while his deputy, Jibrin Barau presided.
