Our Interest Is To Move Tinubu’s Administration — Akpabio On Disagreement With Ndume

Post created on 11:38 am

Senate President, Godswill Akpabio said members of the Senate are bound to disagree but it cannot lead to a public fight.

This follows the disagreement between the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and Chief Whip of the Senate, Ali Ndume on Tuesday during their plenary section.

Ndume cited a point from the rule book about the way and manner Akpabio was handling issues in the red chamber when Akpabio ruled him out of order.

Speaking with journalists after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the presidential villa on Wednesday,  Akpabio said as politicians there is no hatred between them.

“In the parliament, sometimes you disagree. We are all working in one accord. There is no problem at all,” he said.

“Even if some people disagree on some of the happenings in the senate, still, it is only the majority decision that is going to prevail and the parliament is like that.

“We will never get to the point of throwing chairs. We will never get to that point. The Senate is too mature, full of mature people, so, if we disagree, we immediately go into a closed session, resolve it and come out smiling.

“We are politicians, no permanent hatred but permanent interest.”

He further noted that supporting Tinubu’s administration to deliver its promises to Nigerians is the only paramount interest.
