The Senate has removed Senator Ali Ndume as the Chief Whip and replaced him with Senator Tahir Monguno.
Ndume’s replacement by the Senate followed a directive issued to that effect in a letter written by the National Chairman of the All Progressives Party, Umar Ganduje, and National Secretary, Senator Bashir Ajibola.
The request was put to voice votes by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, and loudly affirmed by all the APC senators.
Ndume, from Borno, had last week criticised President Bola Tinubu’s government as loaded with looters in a television interview, saying he was ashamed to be a senior member of the ruling party.
