The All
Progressives Congress members of the Senate have removed Ali Ndume as their
leader. The
development was conveyed by Senate President Bukola Saraki who read a letter he
claimed was sent to him by the caucus.
The caucus
elected to replace Mr. Ndume with Ahmed Lawan, the letter read by Mr. Saraki
said.
Addressing
journalists after the Senate’s plenary, Mr. Ndume said the decision of the
caucus to remove him as leader shocked him.
He said he
was oblivious of what led to the decision or where the meeting was held to
remove him.
Mr.
Ndume’s predicament might be connected with the rejection by the Senate of
Ibrahim Magu as Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Mr. Ndume
had claimed the Senate did not reject the official, prompting a counter
reaction by Senate spokesperson, Aliyu Abdullahi.
Following the
decision of the APC caucus to effect leadership change, Mr. Saraki might
announce Mr. Lawan as the new Senate Leader at the next sitting of the
lawmakers.
