The Senate Chief Whip, Senator Ali Ndume, has downplayed the
reported rift with the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
Ndume said he is older than Akpabio and can advise him on
issues concerning the Senate.
He spoke while featuring on Arise TV programme, Morning Show
on Friday.
According to Ndume: “I’m older than Akpabio and can advise
him on issues of the Senate. I was the DG campaign of Akpabio, so by virtue of
my position, I was his number one supporter and marketer to become the Senate
President.
“We can disagree to agree, but not to fight. Myself and
Akpabio are colleagues, we have the same interest.”
In October, Akpabio and Ndume were involved in a shouting
match on the floor of the senate.
The friction led to Ndume walking out of the Senate while in
session.
