In a dramatic move, the Senate has ousted Senator Ali Ndume as Chief Whip, replacing him with Senator Tahir Monguno.
The sudden change follows a directive from the All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership, as contained in a letter signed by National Chairman, Umar Ganduje, and National Secretary, Senator Bashir Ajibola.
The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, put the request to a voice vote, which was overwhelmingly affirmed by all APC senators present. With this development, Monguno takes over as the new Chief Whip, marking a significant shift in the Senate’s leadership.
The reasons behind Ndume’s removal are yet to be officially disclosed, but sources suggest internal party politics and strategic repositioning may have played a role. The move is seen as a significant shake-up in the Senate’s leadership, and observers are watching to see how this will impact the chamber’s dynamics and decision-making processes.
