The lawmaker representing Gombe Central senatorial district, Senator Danjuma Goje, on Wednesday, clarified that there was no rift between him and Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, during Tuesday’s rowdy session.

Naijaonpoint reports that Goje clarified the situation during plenary, a day after he called out Akpabio over “unparliamentary act” during proceedings.

According to Goje, members of the media misinterpreted the point of order, citing procedural rules.

He said, “My intention in calling that order was not to go against the Senate President personally or to fight him.

“The idea is to contribute my quota as an experienced parliamentarian to ensure that the Senate follows the rules. There is nothing personal against the Senate President or any senator.”

Goje called on journalists and social media users to correct the narrative, stressing that the exchange had been exaggerated.

“There was no drama. There was no controversy, and there was no fight. I only raised a normal point of order… everything was sorted out. Please report what really transpired, not somebody’s views,” he added.

Goje reiterated his position firmly, stressing once more, “We didn’t fight yesterday. It was not a fight.”

The Senate President, in his response, welcomed the clarification and echoed the call for accurate reporting.

“I hope they will hear that there is no fight in the Senate and that we are all one,” he said, reinforcing that the chamber remains united.
