Senate President Godswill Akpabio caused an uproar in a church after taking a back seat when he arrived for the Easter Monday service, leading to the church service stopping, and he was asked to take the front seat.

The Senate president's move appeared unusual for someone of his calibre to take a seat at the back of the church, but he appeared to be trying not to distract the church programme with his arrival, but the congregation did not let him be.

Nigerians react as Akpabio attends church programme

Akpabio had visited the church in celebration of Easter Monday, April 6, but Nigerians have started reacting to the trending video of him at the church service. Below are some of their comments:

Peace in Christ shared his experience in another church with a senator:

"I was in Salem global, a senator came in, and you won’t see a single dime of any uproar, not even PJO or the members, none and even the senator was very humble. You will know a gathering of truth by its fruit. This is rubbish."

Daveswift alleged that the report was tribalism:

"You guys will insult him because he is not a Yoruba man. If some of you can be praising Governor Adeleke, then something must be wrong in Nigeria with tribalism. God punish all tribe haters."

"See people way go worship, God don leave God carry phone de record, corrupt politicians. Na, why do I stop going to church because we are all deceiving ourselves"

Donephi1 criticised the church members:

"This is the problem, you worship them when they show up, that's why they do not value you. Can't Nigerians do the needful? These people should not be seen settled amongst the public. They are the enemies of Nigerians."

"The problem of Nigeria is Nigerians cause why is this reaction to such a corrupt individual who doesn't have our interest at heart."

Samyy faulted the church members for the action:

"What's up with all the people standing around him? It's a church fa shey they can not do all these pictures after the service is over."
