Naija News recalls that Ndume was recently stripped of his position as Chief Whip of the Senate, following his criticisms of the President Bola Tinubu-led government, hence the decision to allocate a new office to him.... CLICK TO READ THE FULL NEWS HERE▶▶
However, Ndume, in a letter addressed to the Chairman of the Senate Services Committee on Tuesday, signed by his Chief Confidential Secretary, Yati Shuaibu Gawu, said the office given him does not reflect his seniority in the Senate.
The letter reads: “I am directed to inform you that, Distinguished Senator Mohammed All Ndume, has rejected the allocation of office number 3.10 by the Committee.
“This is because offices are traditionally allocated on seniority basis.
“Sen Ndume is the most Senior Senator after Sen Ahmad Lawan and will only occupy an office on the fourth floor.”
Borno APC Leaders Demand Ndume’s Reinstatement As Senate Chief Whip
Meanwhile, leaders of the Southern Borno Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have called for the prompt reinstatement of Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume to his former role as Senate Chief Whip.
During a press briefing in Abuja on Friday, APC spokesperson Baba Ahmed Mustapha expressed strong support for Ndume, praising his candidness in addressing the challenges faced by Nigerians under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
The APC leaders urged the National Working Committee (NWC) of the APC and the Senate to restore Ndume to his position, emphasizing his continued loyalty to the party.
They also criticized a recent attack on Ndume by Daniel Bwala, dismissing him as inconsistent and questioning his political legacy.
The group found it puzzling that Bwala, who had earlier condemned President Tinubu’s mandate, is now backing the very system he criticized.
They defended Ndume’s right to voice concerns, asserting that his remarks were made in good faith and aimed at urging government action rather than undermining it.
