Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Senate Chief Whip, Senator Ali Ndume, has downplayed the reported rift with the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.<\/p>\n

Ndume said he is older than Akpabio and can advise him on issues concerning the Senate.<\/p>\n

He spoke while featuring on Arise TV programme, Morning Show on Friday.<\/p>\n

According to Ndume: \u201cI\u2019m 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can disagree to agree, but not to fight. Myself and Akpabio are colleagues, we have the same interest.\u201d<\/p>\n

In October, Akpabio and Ndume were involved in a shouting match on the floor of the senate.<\/p>\n

The friction led to Ndume walking out of the Senate while in session.<\/p>\n
