Senate President, Godswill Akpabio has schooled Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central on how to speak on the floor of the Senate, saying the Senate isn’t a nightclub.

The Senate was in session on Thursday when Akpabio said those in favour of the second reading of a bill should say ‘Aye’ while those against say ‘Nay’.

The ‘Nay’ response was the loudest and as the Senate President contemplated his next action, Senator Natasha rose to explain why she and some others were against the second reading of the bill.

“Mr President, we don’t want it to be killed. We just want a bit of modification. We don’t want the bill killed but there should be slight modification…”

Responding to her, Akpabio said, “You see Senator Natasha, in the chamber, you have to be recognized before you speak. We’re not in a nightclub.”

Natasha said, “Oh, pardon me,” and returned to her seat.
