Ali Ndume Replaced by Mohammed Tahir Monguno as Chief Whip of the Nigerian Senate.

Ali Ndume was replaced as Chief Whip by Senator Mohammed Tahir Monguno of the Nigerian Senate on Wednesday. The replacement came about as a result of a letter of complaint delivered in plenary by Senate President Senator Godswill Akpabio from the national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The letter, signed by Senator Surajudeen Bashir, the National Secretary of the Party, and Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the National Chairman of the party, explained that Ali Ndume, in his capacity as Chief Whip, was attempting to drag down the nation by his careless remarks. In a media interview, Ndume stated, "President Bola Tinubu is working with thieves and has also been caged, such that he didn’t know Nigerians are hungry."

Akpabio read the letter and then voiced his support for Monguno's admittance as the Senate's Chief Whip.
