Senate President Godswill Akpabio has come under attack by not few of his colleague Senators, including Chief Whip Ali Ndume.
Akpabio’s critics are displeased with him on grounds that he allegedly has a penchant for passing bills without input from the members.
The attack happened on the floor of the Senate and the moment was captured and has gone viral since Thursday.
In the clip, while having the floor Ndume told the former Akwa-Ibom governor, “You are just passing bills without prior notification, including money bills, you just pass bills within 2 hours without anyone’s contribution. This is not good for Nigeria.”
In the same vein, the Peoples Democratic Party’s Senator Ogoshi Onawo, representing Nasarawa State, was critical of Akpabio’s way with bill, saying, “Very sensitive bills are brought and are expected to be passed with the speed of light, which is not good for the country.
“Every senator here is supposed to be adequately informed; he does his research and makes a positive contribution, but in a situation where even money bills are brought and expected to be passed within two hours, it wouldn’t be better for the country.
“Sir, you are on the seat today; history will judge you that things like this are not good for this country.”
Responding to Onawo’s comment, Akpabio stated, “If the bills we pass are good for the country, history will judge me right. I don’t think we would come here to pass a bill that’s not good for the interest of Nigerians. So, your point of order is noted.”
