The Senate has issued a firm denial of recent media reports suggesting a rift between the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, and Leader of the Senate, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele.
The purported altercation allegedly occurred during a recent executive session convened to deliberate on whether the Senate should proceed on its annual recess.
In a press statement released on Sunday, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, dismissed the reports as baseless and misleading.
