Senator adeyemi describes abia state governor okezie ikpeazu as a "drunkard"

A dramatic scene was recorded during the Nigerian senate's plenary after Senator Smart Adeyemi (APC, Kogi) described Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State as a “drunkard”.

The Kogi senator who contributed to a motion on Safe School Initiative in Nigeria alleged while Abia state is governed by a “champagne drinking man”, some Governors are working hard to make the lives of residents of their state better.

Adeyemi seemingly said this in response to a social media post allegedly linked to Abia-born Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, which cast aspersion on Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state.

He said “Despite that some governors are doing their best, we are lucky to have a governor who has taken the issue of security as a serious priority.

“We are bordered by nine states, but we had an experience of the unfortunate incidents that are happening in neighbouring states.

“Some governors are committed to the protection of their people. In my state, the governor awarded contracts for the renovations of schools and provides security services to them.

“In some states where we have highly intelligent people, highly educated people, very enterprising people, unlike Abia, they are governed by drunkards. The governor of Abia is a champagne drinking man.

“Abia people are impoverished more than ever before. Abia people are unfortunate.”
