•Alleges Ex-NNPC Boss Gave Senate President’s Daughter Job Without Merit
The lawmaker representing Edo North at the Senate, Senator Adams Oshiomhole, alleged that Senate President Godswill Akpabio has a personal interest in the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited.
Oshiomhole alleged that former NNPC Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mele Kyari employed Akpabio’s daughter in a juicy position she probably didn’t merit.
The federal lawmaker stated this while speaking on Seun Okinbaloye’s political podcast “Mic On” on Saturday, June 13, 2026.
Oshiomhole, who stated this while reacting to the Senate’s decision to disown Mele Kyari’s arrest warrant, said it is not in the Senate’s right to apologise for calling NNPC staff thieves because he made the statement and not the Senate.
The lawmaker further stated that there are ongoing plans to demarket him ahead of the next Senate Presidency election.
He said Akpabio is trying to destroy his image by projecting him as a controversial figure, but what he doesn’t appreciate is that the leadership of the Senate is in the hands of God.

Oshimhole added that if Akpabio has his way, he would lock him out of the Senate, alleging that the Senators are grovelling about Akpabio’s style of leadership.
“If Akpabio has his way, he would lock me out of the Senate because he has misled himself into thinking that I’m probably the devil he knows,” he stated.
