The alleged conflict between Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Senate Chief Whip Senator Ali Ndume has been minimized.
Given his age, Ndume claimed he could provide Akpabio with advice on matters involving the Senate.
On Friday, he made an appearance on the Morning Show on Arise TV.
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 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.
