Enjoyment allowance: Your comment unbecoming of elder – Ndume attacks Akpabio

Borno South Senator, Ali Ndume has said the Senate would take drastic action against Senate President Godswill Akpabio over the two million naira enjoyment token.

Ndume said Akpabio’s comments were unbecoming of an elder statesman.

Speaking with BBC Hausa Service, Ndume confirmed that senators received two million naira.

He, however, lamented that Akpabio’s remark was an embarrassment to senators.

According to him: “All senators received N2 million. And I am making this comment with a heavy heart because he (Akpabio) is the cause of this controversy.

“He made a very wrong statement, and I warned him immediately that his comments were unbecoming of an elder.

“In fact, we are even planning to take drastic action against him if he continues making unguarded statements and acting as if we are kids.”
