Senator Alli Ndume has been stripped of his role as Senate Whip following remarks he made that were seen as critical of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Additionally, Senator Mohammed Tahir Monguno has been appointed to replace Alli Ndume as Senate Whip. Ndume’s removal from this position follows a report by Daily Trust indicating that senators aligned with President Tinubu were considering suspending him.
