AKPABIO APOLOGIZES TO SARAKI OVER SENATE DRAMA

Loading...

Senator Godswill Akpabio on Wednesday apologized to Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki for raising his voice at him when he was not recognized to speak during plenary.

The senate was thrown into a rowdy session  after Saraki prevented Akpabio from speaking from a seat not assigned him.

Akpabio, a former minority leader, has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Consequently, his former seat is now occupied by APC senator, Olujimi Abiodun.

Albert Akpan, senator representing Akwa Ibom north-east, had accused the APC in Akwa Ibom of plotting to foment trouble in the state.

Akpabio sought to respond to the allegation using the microphone of Ali Ndume, senator representing Borno south. The senators sit side by side but the microphone on Akpabio’s seat is not functioning.

However, Saraki insisted that Akpabio should move to another seat where there is a working microphone.

The senate president refused to allow him speak using the microphone attached to Ndume’s seat.

“Senator… eh…eh (tries to recall his name), former Minority Leader, you know you can’t speak from there. You can’t. Go to your seat, when you get to your seat, I’ll recognise you,” he said.
