2. 2023–2026

   Senior Legislative Aide to the Senate President

   Office of the President of the Senate

   Aide to Senate President Godswill Akpabio from the start of the 10th Senate (start year inferred from Akpabio's media adviser Eseme Eyiboh describing about three years as colleagues in the office, March 2026). By his own account he was invited into Akpabio's 'first eleven' for his work on the 2023 senatorial election and the Senate-presidency contest, was announced as a special assistant but made to serve as senior legislative aide (which he called demeaning), coordinated a symposium on the creative economy for the Senate President's legislative agenda, and mobilised over 240 support groups. Resigned in a letter dated 27 February 2026 (a later Premium Times report says 26 February), alleging hostility, denial of access and physical assaults by fellow aides (see legal record); Eyiboh said he was unaware of the resignation and that the office was well run.
