Senate President Godswill Akpabio sparked laughter in the Senate chamber after making a light-hearted remark about a viral video allegedly showing Senator Adams Oshiomhole massaging a woman's foot aboard a private jet.
During plenary on Thursday, July 16, 2026, Akpabio jokingly asked, "Is somebody massaging Oshiomhole's leg?" The comment drew prolonged laughter from lawmakers, although Oshiomhole had reportedly left the chamber before the remark was made.The joke followed the circulation of a widely shared video on social media purportedly showing the Edo North senator massaging the foot of a young woman during a private jet flight. The footage generated widespread reactions online and became a subject of public debate.
However, Oshiomhole has dismissed the video as fake, insisting it was created using artificial intelligence (AI) and digitally manipulated to damage his reputation. His media team described the footage as fabricated and alleged that it formed part of a coordinated smear campaign against the former Edo State governor.
The exchange has continued to generate reactions on social media, with supporters and critics expressing differing opinions over both the authenticity of the video and Akpabio's humorous remarks during Senate proceedings.
