The National Working Committee, NWC, of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has written the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, to ask the Chief Whip, Senator Ali Ndume (APC, Borno South) to resign from the party and join either the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, or any of the opposition party.
APC, in the letter, also removed Senator Ali Ndume as Chief Whip of the 10th Senate and replaced him with Senator Mohammed Tahir Monguno (APC, Borno North).
In a letter from the APC signed by National Chairman, Alhaji Umar Ganduje and the National Secretary, Senator Suŕajueen Basiru, respectively, to Akpabio, the party said that Ndume’s complaints about President Bola Tinubu are unbecoming and his utterances are not favourable to the Federal Government.
The request was put to voice votes by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, and loudly affirmed by all the APC Senators.
The Southern Borno Senator who is conspicuously absent today, has been making critical remarks about President Bola Tinubu’s economic policies, the economic hardship, food scarcity and the concomitant security crisis.
Ndume was not only stripped of his position as Chief Whip, but the committee he co-chaired as Vice Chairman, Senate Committee on Appropriations.
He has been moved to Chair the Senate Committee on Tourism.
