In May, less than a month before the end of the previous Assembly, he resigned from the PDP and defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Akpabio had, on Monday before the Senate adjourned for annual recess, told his colleagues that money had been sent to them to “enjoy” their holiday, apparently forgetting that the proceeding was being captured on live camera.

Though he made the statement on Monday before adjourning plenary to September 26, the video went viral on social media yesterday.
