Woes that befell ex-Senate Chief Whip, Senator Ali Ndume, deepened on Wednesday as Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, allegedly also removed him as the Vice Chairman of the Appropriation Committee.
Ndume, it was gathered had been reassigned as the new Chairman of the not-so-juicy and “unattractive” Senate Committee on Tourism.
This development, it was also learnt, followed the reshuffling of the Senate’s standing Committees.
Recall that earlier on Wednesday, Ndume, a Senator representing Borno South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, was removed as the Chief Whip of the Senate and replaced by Senator Tahir Mungono, representing Borno North.
Ndume’s removal came against the backdrop of his recent criticisms and outbursts against President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
The Senator had in an interview with newsmen last week accused Tinubu of being ignorant and uninformed about happenings outside the Presidential Villa.
Ndume further alleged that Tinubu had been fenced off and caged, adding that his government was being run by kleptocrats who are only interested in looting the treasury.
