During discussions addressing the prevailing security challenges in the country, Senator Ali Ndume, representing Borno South, reminded Akpabio of his purported participation in the previous Senate under Senator Bukola Saraki’s leadership.

Ndume remarked, “Now the President [Akpabio], he headed, when he was the Senate leader, he headed three committees and made far-reaching decisions. You were part of the Saraki Senate as a Minority Leader…”

Interrupting, Akpabio clarified, “I was a part of the Nigerian Senate, not Saraki’s Senate. If you said I was part of Saraki’s Senate, it means I was part of those who paid 40% on Constituency project and 60% was not being paid till today, I don’t want to be part of that.”
