The Arewa Revival Project (ARP), in collaboration with its allied Non-Governmental Organizations across Northern Nigeria, has called on the support of the Senate President Godswill Akpabio, in the wake of reports confirming an alleged impeachment plot against him by certain lawmakers.
We view such clandestine moves as unpatriotic, divisive, and counterproductive to the unity and stability of the Nigerian Senate — a critical arm of government that must remain focused on national interest rather than personal or sectional ambitions.
As stakeholders in national development and advocates for peace and institutional harmony, we affirm the following: 1. Unreserved Confidence in Akpabio’s Leadership:
The Arewa Revival Project and Allied NGOs fully trust the Senate President’s commitment to the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which seeks to strengthen democracy, economic reforms, youth empowerment, and regional development.
We commend distinguished senators such as Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu and other voices of reason for rising in defence of Senate unity and institutional integrity, as revealed in the report by Dockays World.
While calling for National Unity and Legislative Cooperation: Nigeria is at a delicate stage where leadership stability is critical. We therefore urge all senators, irrespective of political alignment, to put the nation first and reject any internal conspiracies capable of weakening governance or derailing ongoing reforms governance or derailing ongoing reforms.
Reaffirmation of Northern Commitment to National Stability: The Arewa Revival Project reiterates the readiness of Northern civil society networks to stand by the Senate President and by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in ensuring that the legislative arm continues to function as a beacon of unity, accountability, and national progress.
Warning Against Destabilization Attempts: We strongly caution that any act of sabotage or deliberate plot to unseat the Senate leadership at this critical time will be met with massive democratic resistance from patriotic Nigerians, civil groups, and pro-democracy advocates nationwide.
In conclusion, the Arewa Revival Project and its Allied NGOs remain resolutely committed to promoting peace, stability, and good governance.
The Senate, under Akpabio’s watch, has demonstrated direction and maturity deserving of collective support—not unnecessary distractions. We therefore declare our total support for the Senate President and reaffirm our faith in his leadership as a vital pillar in sustaining the Renewed Hope vision of our nation. Signed: Hon. Muttaka Ahmed Ibrahim Project Coordinator, Arewa Revival Project (On behalf of the Coalition of Allied NGOs and Civil Society Partners)
