Akpabio Mocks Oshiomhole Over Viral Video of Him ‘Massaging Lady’s Feet’ In Private Jet

• Senate President Godswill Akpabio jokingly referenced Senator Adams Oshiomhole’s viral private jet video during plenary, saying lawmakers initially dismissed it as an AI-generated fabrication.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio sparked laughter in the Senate on Thursday after teasing Senator Adams Oshiomhole over a viral video that allegedly showed him aboard a private jet with a woman.

Speaking during plenary, Akpabio recalled that lawmakers initially dismissed the footage as a possible artificial intelligence (AI)-generated fabrication.

“I don’t want to go outside of what we are doing… I would have asked a question when there was a picture showing one of our senators in a plane, massaging the leg of a girl.”

“We thought it was AI”

Addressing Oshiomhole directly, Akpabio said Senator Simon Lalong had advised him not to take the video seriously.

“Senator Oshiomhole, your friend, your very good friend Senator Lalong came to give me security information. He said that we just ignored the message because we thought it was AI.”

Akpabio added that the Senate could consider the issue if credible evidence was presented.

“But if you have another evidence, we have a petition before us, we can look into it if it’s not AI.”

Oshiomhole previously denied the video

The remarks referred to a video that circulated widely on social media in February 2026, appearing to show a man resembling Oshiomhole seated inside what looked like a private jet while a woman rested her legs on his lap.

The footage generated widespread debate online over its authenticity.

However, Oshiomhole, through his media aide Oseni Momodu, denied the video was genuine, describing it as fabricated and allegedly generated using artificial intelligence to damage his reputation.

His media team also urged the public to verify online content before sharing it and said efforts were underway to identify those behind the video.
