Nigeria Senate President Akpabio petitions SSS over alleged anti-North threat

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has petitioned Nigeria's State Security Service (SSS) over a viral statement allegedly quoting him as threatening Northerners if President Tinubu loses the 2027 election. The claim is unverified and Akpabio denies it, seeking investigation. This reflects rising ethno-regional tensions ahead of the 2027 election cycle.
