The Nigerian Senate, on Wednesday, announced the removal of Senator Mohamed Ali Ndume (Borno South) as Chief Whip. When the matter was put to a voice vote by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, members of the APC Senate Caucus endorsed Ndume’s removal during plenary. Ndume was replaced by Tahir Mungono (Borno North).
This decision follows Ndume’s recent criticisms of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government. In a letter addressed to the Senate Caucus, the national leadership of the ruling party, APC, asked Ndume to resign from the APC and join any opposition party of his choice. The letter was signed by the party’s national chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, and Secretary, Barrister Ajibola Bashiru.
