APC Urges Ndume to Resign Amid Criticisms of President Tinubu
Abuja, Nigeria — The All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged Senator Mohamed Ali Ndume (Borno South) to resign from the party rather than incite the public against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. This call follows Ndume’s recent criticisms of President Tinubu’s government.
In a significant move, the Senate announced the removal of Ndume as Chief Whip on Wednesday. When put to a voice vote by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, members of the APC Senate Caucus endorsed Ndume’s removal during the plenary session. He was replaced by Senator Tahir Mungono (Borno North).
In a letter addressed to the Senate Caucus, the national leadership of the ruling party requested Ndume to resign his membership of the APC and join any opposition party of his choice. The letter was signed by the party’s national chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, and Secretary, Barrister Ajibola Bashiru.
