Following his critique of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, Senator Ali Ndume has been removed as the Chief Whip of the Nigeria’s Senate.
He was subsequently replaced with a senator from his state, Senator Tahir Monguno.
His removal came as a result of directive issued via a letter written by the National Chairman of the 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.
WesternLifeNewsNG recalls that since tenure of 10th assembly began, two top ranking northern senators have sanctioned by the senate over their outbursts on the current state of governance in the country.
Senator Abdul Ningi of the People Democratic Party (Bauchi) was suspended for three months after he claimed that 2023 budget was padded to the tune of about N3.7 trillion, representing more than 10% of the N28.78 trillion budget.
