In a shocking move, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked Senator Ali Ndume, the Chief Whip of the Senate, to resign his membership and join an opposition party of his choice. This decision comes after Ndume made comments suggesting President Bola Tinubu was “caged” and out of touch with the country’s challenges.
In a letter addressed to the Senate Caucus, the APC’s national leadership, signed by Chairman Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and Secretary Ajibola Bashiru, directed Ndume to leave the party. The letter stated that Ndume’s comments were unnecessary and attention-seeking, adding that he had other channels to raise concerns, including the National Assembly and the federal government.
This development highlights the growing tensions within the APC and raises questions about the party’s unity and leadership. Ndume’s future in politics and the implications of this decision remain to be seen.
