The Senate announced the removal of Senator Mohamed Ali Ndume (Borno South) as Chief Whip on Wednesday.
During the plenary, Senate President Godswill Akpabio put the motion to a voice vote, and the APC Senate Caucus endorsed Ndume’s removal.
He was replaced by Tahir Mungono (Borno North).
This decision follows Ndume’s recent criticisms of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government.
In a letter addressed to the Senate Caucus, the APC national leadership asked Ndume to resign from the party and join an opposition party of his choice.
The letter was signed by the party’s national chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, and Secretary, Barrister Ajibola Bashiru.
