Borno South Senator and former Chief whip of the 10th Senate, Ali Ndume rejected a newly allocated office provided by the Senate Service Committee, stating that it does not reflect his seniority and status as a high-ranking senator, SAVANNAH NEWSNOW REPORTS.
The rejection letter was signed by his confidential secretary, Yati Shuaibu Gawu.
The letter read:“I am directed to inform you that Distinguished Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume has rejected the allocation of office number 3.10 by the Committee. This is because offices are traditionally allocated on a seniority basis. Sen Ndume is the most senior senator after Sen Ahmad Lawan and will only occupy an office on the fourth floor.”
This rejection follows Ndume’s recent removal from his position as Senate Chief Whip.
The Senate took this action after Ndume criticized President Bola Tinubu’s administration, accusing it of being run by kleptocrats focused on looting the treasury.
