The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Working Committee (NWC) has formally requested Senate President Senator Godswill Akpabio to encourage Senator Ali Ndume of Borno South to resign from the party and join either the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) or another opposition party.

In a letter signed by APC National Chairman Alhaji Umar Ganduje and National Secretary Senator Surajudeen Basiru, the party also announced the removal of Senator Ali Ndume from his position as Chief Whip of the 10th Senate. He has been replaced by Senator Mohammed Tahir Monguno of Borno North.

The APC justified its decision by citing Ndume’s criticisms of President Bola Tinubu as inappropriate and not in alignment with the Federal Government’s agenda.

The request received unanimous support from APC Senators during a session presided over by Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
