Sen. Tahir Munguno has replaced Sen. Ali Ndume as Senate Chief Whip.
In a voice vote, the upper chamber took the unanimous resolution to effect the replacement, after a letter of complaint against the unbecoming utterances of the chief whip, Sen. Ali Ndume by the All Progressive Congress (APC) National Headquarters, was read by the President of the Senate, Sen. Godswill Akpabio.
The Southern Borno Senator who is conspicuously absent today, has been making critical remarks about President Bola Tinubu’s economic policies, the economic hardship, food scarcity and the concomitant security crisis.
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.
