Tahir Mungono (Borno North) has been appointed as Ndume’s replacement.

This move follows Ndume’s recent criticisms of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

In response, the APC’s national leadership, represented by national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje and Secretary, Ajibola Bashiru, urged Ndume in a letter addressed to the Senate Caucus to resign from the APC and join any opposition party of his choice.

Senator Ali Ndume, the Chief Whip of the Nigerian Senate, had in an interview with Arise TV accused Tinubu government of being led by those who are unfit to govern, prioritising personal interests over the well-being of the nation and its citizens.
