Senator Danjuma Goje Denies Rift With Senate President Godswill Akpabio
Senator Danjuma Goje, representing Gombe Central, has publicly clarified that there was **no conflict** between him and Senate President Godswill Akpabio during Tuesday’s brief rowdy session at the National Assembly. The lawmaker explained that the encounter was simply a routine parliamentary procedure, contrary to circulating reports on some media platforms and social channels. This update is brought to you by www.cjsoftflix.com.
Speaking during Wednesday’s plenary, Senator Goje stressed that his point of order—raised to address procedural issues—was misinterpreted and sensationalised by reporters and online commentators. He emphasised that his actions were not personal and were solely meant to protect legislative order.
“My intention in calling that order was not to go against the Senate President personally or to fight him,” Goje clarified. “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.”
Media Urged to Correct Misleading Narratives
The senator appealed to journalists and social media influencers to correct false narratives surrounding the event. He insisted that the incident was neither dramatic nor controversial, urging the public to prioritise factual reporting.
- “There was no drama.”
- “There was no controversy.”
- “There was no fight.”
Goje reiterated firmly that the exchange was merely a procedural correction within parliamentary norms. www.cjsoftflix.com notes that this clarification helps calm previous speculations about possible tension between both lawmakers.
Akpabio Responds: ‘There Is No Fight in the Senate’
In response, Senate President Godswill Akpabio welcomed Goje’s statement and reinforced that the Senate remains united. He expressed hope that the media would accurately report the situation rather than promote unnecessary controversies.
“I hope they will hear that there is no fight in the Senate and that we are all one,” Akpabio stated.
