In a recent session of the House, Senate President Godswill Akpabio asserted that the ongoing protests addressing the country's economic hardship are externally funded. During the plenary on February 20, Akpabio expressed concern over sponsored protests, emphasizing that many protesters may not be fully aware of the Senate's efforts to address the challenging economic situation.
