The Senate has removed Senator Ali Ndume as Chief Whip.
Ndume was 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 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
In the letter, the APC national leaders recommended that the Senate relieve Ndume of his position because of his “unguarded utterances” that are “against the federal government.
The APC leaders described Ndume as “someone who is bent on dividing the country” and as someone who is not putting the country in a better position in the international community.
The party subsequently recommended that his position in the Senate should be taken over by Mr Monguno.
Recall that Ndume told journalists last week that President Bola Tinubu had been “caged” in the Presidential Villa and that some forces are preventing well-meaning people from physically discussing the truth with him.
He claimed that the situation did not allow the president to know that many Nigerians are hungry.
