The All Progressives Congress (APC) has taken steps to reinstate Senator Ali Ndume as Senate Whip, following his apology for comments made against President Bola Tinubu.
Ndume was summoned by the party’s National Working Committee (NWC), led by Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, to explain his recent utterances. After a meeting at the APC national secretariat, Ganduje announced that the party was satisfied with Ndume’s apology and would convey it to the Senate leadership.
“We are quite satisfied with his apology,” Ganduje said. “We will convey the same issue to the National Assembly, with the hope they can review their position.”
Ndume acknowledged his mistake, stating that he should have addressed his concerns through the party leadership instead of speaking publicly. “I promised the party that all my observations as a senior member of the family should have terminated or ended with the party,” he said.
The APC considers the matter a “family issue” and aims to resolve it internally. The party will write to the National Assembly, seeking a review of Ndume’s removal as Senate Whip. The Senate leadership will then consider the APC’s request and potentially reinstate Ndume to his former position.
