Senators on Thursday passed a vote of confidence on the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
DAILY NIGERIAN reports that the vote of confidence on Mr Akpabio is coming on the heels of reports that his colleagues have plans to impeach him.
Recall that some online media platforms had on Wednesday speculated that the presidency drafted a large number of operatives of the State Security Service, SSS, into the National Assembly Complex to stop Senators from performing their constitutional responsibilities, including a plot to remove Mr Akpabio as the Senate President.
But Mr Akpabio himself had denied the report, saying the red chamber remained united.
The presidency, also in a statement, said there were no impeachment threats against Akpabio.
