The social media on Thursday, March 6, 2025 was agog with comments purportedly drawn from high profile Nigerians who were expected to react to the impasse between the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio and Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan but chose to stick to issues considered to be of national importance rather than dwelling on frivolous or salacious gist.
In the trending post Thursday afternoon seen by Veracity Desk (veracitydesk.com) which was mainly on Facebook and Whatsapp, respondents to the highly publicized rift in the Senate were seen speaking to issues that affect their affairs and limitating their feedbacks to matters that could be of greater benefits to the ordinary Nigerians.
Although, no interview was conducted with the celebrities that were mentioned in the post, but their fictitious responses were created to ignite social media sensation, generate humor and sparking conversations across various platforms while also placing people’s minds on better topical national issues that are profit-driven.
Among the celebrities mentioned in the posts were Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Femi Otedola, Gbenga Elegbeleye, Dimeji Bankole, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Senator Ajibola Bashiru etc.
In recent years, social media has become an integral part of Nigerian society, transforming the way people communicate, interact, engage and interrogate issues.
With their widespread adoption, social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, Tiktok and Snapchat, among others, have profoundly influenced the Nigerian society, shaping trends, amplifying voices, and driving activism.

CELEBRITY INTERVIEW TRENDING ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA:
The Big Question: What’s your opinion on Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan and Senator Godswill Akpabio’s fiasco at the 10th Senate?
1. Aliko Dangote
Ans: We can satisfy more than the local needs of Nigeria. As we speak, we have more than half a billion litres (of petrol). We have more than N600bn worth of stocks here today in the refinery. We have more than enough. The refinery is producing enough refined products, like gasoline, diesel, and kerosene, to meet 100 per cent of Nigeria’s requirements. The Nigeria’s petroleum industry downstream sector has truly come alive and Dangote refinery will not let Nigerians down in a healthy competitive market.
2. Femi Otedola
Ans: As one of Nigeria’s oldest banks, in its 130 years of existence, FirstBank Nigeria has achieved remarkable milestones. This is why, today, it was a privilege to join the Management, Board, and friends of the bank at the official groundbreaking of FirstBank’s innovative 40-story green headquarters in Eko Atlantic City, Lagos.
3. Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu
Ans: The 4th mainland bridge is a priority project that will essentially ease traffic congestion, improve our transport system and boost Lagos Mega city status
3. Gbenga Elegbeleye:
Ans: We won’t allow anyone to disrupt the smooth flow of our football league in Nigeria
4. Ali Ndume:
Ans: It is not yet over for the battle against tax reform bills
5. Dimeji Bankole
Ans: I have no intention of contesting against Tinubu in 2027; Mr. President is following the intended route of his renewed hope agenda. Impressively, he just approved an 80% subsidy on kidney dialysis, reducing the cost from ₦50,000 to just ₦12,000 across 10+ federal medical institutions nationwide
6. Senator Ajibola Basiru
Ans: APC would not allow disruption of our party’s primaries in Anambra State.
7. Lateef Fagbemi, SAN
Ans: The Federal Government of Nigeria will ensure that the Supreme Court judgment on the Local Government autonomy is fully implementated with required human and pragmatic solutions.
Abike Dabiri-Erewa
Ans: We’ve reached a stage where the diaspora has proven to be a powerful resource, and we cannot ignore them. They are the number one ambassadors of our country. They will help us change the narrative of Nigeria. In fact, all over the world, everyone now wants to have a Nigerian as a friend. Let’s seize this moment. We can take over the world, and we will.
