Ndume’s replacement by the Senate followed a directive issued to that effect in a letter written by the National Chairman of the party, Umar Ganduje and National Secretary, Senator Bashir Ajibola.
This move follows Ndume’s recent criticisms of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
The APC’s national leadership also urged Ndume in a letter addressed to the Senate Caucus to resign from the APC and join any opposition party of his choice.
