The Senate has stripped Senator Ali Ndume of his position as Chief Whip, replacing him with Senator Tahir Monguno.

The removal followed a directive from the All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership, conveyed in a letter signed by National Chairman Umar Ganduje and National Secretary Senator Bashir Ajibola.

The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, put the request to a voice vote, which was overwhelmingly affirmed by all APC senators.
