We have realized That Akpabio has a knack.he has the skill of saying the wrong thing — Nana Kazaure

 

A key voice in the Obidient Movement, Nana Kazaure, has sharply criticized Senate President Godswill Akpabio during an appearance on ARISE TV, calling into question his communication style and leadership approach. Kazaure, who serves as a strategic communication and media advisor within the Obidient Movement, made the remarks while responding to a pointed question from renowned ARISE TV journalist Charles. The host had asked her to outline the specific concerns she and others in the movement have against the Senate President.

In her response, Kazaure did not mince words.

“I think over time we have come to realize that the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, he has a knack, he has the skill in saying the wrong thing at the wrong time in the wrong places,” she said.

The interview segment, which quickly gained attention online, further amplified her statement as she emphasized the implications of such public missteps from a person holding one of the nation’s highest offices.“Leadership requires more than just presence—it demands responsibility in speech and in action,” she added. “Words from that office carry weight, and when misused, they can have national consequences.”

The quote that dominated headlines—“We have realized that Akpabio has a knack… he has the skill of saying the wrong thing”—has sparked debate on social media, with many echoing Kazaure’s sentiments while others defended Akpabio’s record.

Kazaure’s comments are the latest in a growing chorus of criticism directed at the Senate President from opposition voices and civil society advocates who argue for higher standards in public office.
