BREAKING: Senate sacks Ali Ndume as Chief Whip, names replacement | Read More
The Nigerian Senate has on Wednesday, replaced Senator Ali Ndume with Senator Mohammed Tahir Monguno, representing Borno North, as Chief Whip.
The replacement followed a letter of complaint from the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje which was read by the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio during plenary.
The letter co-signed by the National Secretary of the Party, Senator Surajudeen Bashir, explained that Ali Ndume representing Borno south senatorial district in his capacity as Chief Whip was working to bring down the country through his unguarded utterances.
The letter was referring to his media interview where he alleged that “President Bola Tinubu is working with thieves and has also been caged, such that he didn’t know Nigerians are hungry.”
Ndume has alleged that Tinubu is caged in Aso Rock and is not aware of the reality in Nigeria.
After the letter was read by Akpabio, he put to voice vote for Monguno to be admitted as the Chief Whip of the Senate.
