Akpabio Mocks Oshiomhole Over Viral Leg Massage Video
Nigeria’s Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has mocked Senator Adams Oshiomhole over the viral video allegedly showing him massaging a woman’s leg aboard a private jet, saying the Senate initially ignored the footage because it was suspected to have been generated using artificial intelligence (AI).
Recall that a video which surfaced on X on February 3, 2026, sparked widespread reactions after it allegedly showed the former Edo State governor and senator representing Edo North massaging a woman’s leg inside a private jet; days later, the lawmaker debunked the video, stating that it was AI.
Newera News gathered that Akpabio made a slight mockery of the incident while speaking during the Thursday plenary session,
He said with a slight humour, “Okay, I don’t want to go outside what we are doing. I would have asked a question when there was a picture showing one of our senators on a plane massaging a lady’s leg?.
“Senator Oshimole, and that your very good friend came to give me security information that we just ignored the massage because we thought it was AI, but if you have other evidence, we have a petition before us; we can look if it’s not AI.”
