Ali Ndume rejects Akpabio’s appointment, speaks on resigning from APC
Borno South Lawmaker, Ali Ndume has rejected his appointment as chairman of the Senate Committee on Tourism.
Ndume revealed that he lacks the experience and exposure to lead such a sensitive group.
This is coming days after he was sacked as Chief Whip of the Senate.
Breaking silence on his removal, Ndume said he his comments did not warrant the sack.
Ndume was removed as the senate chief whip after his criticism of the President Bola Tinubu government’s handling of the nation.
He said this in his country home of Maiduguri on Friday about 48 hours after he was removed as the Senate Chief Whip.
Ndume said that he never wanted to be a senate whip after serving as the leader in the eight Senate.
On the charge to resign from the All Progressives Congress (APC), the senator said he is a founding member of the party.
According to him, he was one of the twenty-two senators from the PDP that formed the APC when the current national chairman of the party Abdullahi Ganduje was a deputy governor in Kano State.
He, however, stated that when former President Muhammadu Buhari in the company of President Bola Tinubu ordered him to sign a document to join APC at the Imo House in Abuja, he informed his people before going public as such, he would consult his people before deciding on whether to leave the APC or not.
