Senator Adams Oshiomhole has jokingly accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of breaching their truce after the latter made a reference to a previous controversy involving the former Edo State governor.
The exchange occurred during plenary on Thursday after Akpabio made a remark linked to an earlier viral video that purportedly showed Oshiomhole massaging the legs of a South African woman on a private jet.
Oshiomhole had dismissed the video as artificial intelligence-generated and had previously been the subject of light-hearted comments from Akpabio over the incident.
Raising a point of order, Oshiomhole told the Senate that both lawmakers had agreed to stop making jokes about past controversies, accusing Akpabio of breaking the agreement.

“I want to report to this house that the Senate President and I, we signed a truce of no more hostilities. And the Senate President breached the truce by reverting to a previous matter with a view to behaving like…” Oshiomhole said amid laughter from lawmakers.
He added, “So I told Mr Senate President, the truce is signed. You should not violate, I will not violate.
“You are my brother. You are my brother. You are my leader. You are my president. So that is all I want to say.”
Oshiomhole, however, said he would not pursue the matter further, adding that he was withdrawing his proposed action.
