Senator Bassey Albert Akpan, has incited social media attacks from Nigerians who reacted to the manner he shook hands with the Senate president, Bukola Saraki.

Senator Albert is expected back at the anti-graft office this week for further questioning on the matter. His extreme loyalty to Saraki, who has attained the peak of his political career, might not be unconnected with political backing as well as to tap from the sphere of influence Saraki wields.
The embattled Senator was pictured shaking the Senate president in a manner some Nigerians perceived as master and boy relationship though some are also of the opinion that Albert was just been respectful and unintentionally bringing it to the fore.
