The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has sacked Senator Ali Ndume representing Borno South as Chief Whip.
This followed a letter addressed to the Senate President of Nigeria, Senator Godswill Akpabio by the All Progressive Congress(APC) asking Ndume to resign from the Party and vacate his position as Senate Chief Whip.
The National Chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Ganduje and National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru nominated Tahir Monguno, Senator representing Borno North to take Ndume’s place.
Recalled that Senator Ndume in an interview with Arise TV on July 12 had alleged that former President Mohammadu Buhari was a more accessible leader than the current President, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He accused aides of the President of ‘shielding and fencing in’ their principal from lawmakers and other top government functionaries including Ministers.
