Akpabio downplays crisis in Senate, says it won’t degenerate to hauling chairs

The President of the Nigerian Senate, Godswill Akpabio has downplayed the current faceoff between himself and Senator Ali Ndume, assuring that even if there are disagreements over issues in the Senate, it would never degenerate to the level of hauling chairs.

Akpabio gave the assurance while speaking to reporters after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the presidential villa in Abuja on Wednesday, affirming that the majority will always have their way with every decision.

According to him, as politicians, they have no permanent foes but permanent interests, adding that the chamber has always resorted to executive sessions to deal with contentious matters.
