Senator Ali Ndume Removed As Senate Whip

The Senate has approved the removal of Senator Ali Ndume as the Chief Whip and appointed Senator Tahir Monguno to serve as his replacement.

His 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.

Ndume was not only stripped of his position as Chief Whip but the committee he co-chaired as Vice Chairman, Senate Committee on Appropriations.

He has been moved to Chair the Senate Committee on Tourism.
