    Senate removes Ali Ndume as Chief Whip

    Senate has removed Senator Mohamed Ali Ndume (Borno South) as Chief Whip.

    Ndume’s removal was endorsed by members of the APC Senate Caucus during plenary today July 17after a voice vote by Senate President Godswill Akpabio. Ndume was replaced with Senator Tahir Monguno.

    The national leadership of the ruling party, APC, had earlier asked Ndume to resign his membership of the party and join any opposition party of his choice, in a letter signed by the party’s national chairman, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, and Secretary, Barrister Ajibola Bashiru.

    Ndume’s criticisms of the Tinubu-led government had sparked a backlash from the pro-Tinubu camp, with Senator Sunday Karimi (Kogi West) and the APC condemning his statement as derogatory.

    Ndume in recent interviews alleged that President Tinubu is inaccessable. He alleged that some Ministers in the Tinubu government do not have access to the President.
