Earlier, Nigerian Senate deputy president, Barau Jibrin, tackled Trump over his redesignation of Nigeria as a country of concern.
Barau also challenged Akpabio to speak on Trump's allegation, adding that he was not scared.
The Nigerian federal lawmaker accused the US president of spreading fake news about Nigeria, which is a sovereign state.
Recall that Akpabio opened up on the report that claimed he mocked President Trump over his threat to invade Nigeria.
The viral post on social media has claimed that Akpabio told Trump to face the United States and that Nigerians are happy with the insecurity situation in the country.
Speaking about the planned meeting with the executive, Akpabio said:
“We have not discussed the issue of President Trump yet in chambers.
“We shall do so in combination with the executive because we believe it is a matter of foreign policy and diplomatic relations.
“I have refrained from taking any motion on that yet until we know the direction of government and what government intends to do.”
