Ndume rejects new allocated office

Borno South Senator, Ali Ndume has rejected a new office allocated to him by the Senate Service Committee.

Ndume on Tuesday said the new office does not reflect his seniority and posture as a high ranking senator.

The lawmaker’s decision was disclosed in a letter signed by his Chief Confidential Secretary, Yati Shuaibu Gawu.

The letter reads: “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 seniority basis.

“Sen Ndume is the most Senior Senator after Sen Ahmad Lawan and will only occupy an office on the fourth floor.”

This is coming after Ndume was stripped of his position as the Senate Chief Whip.

The Senate took the decision after Ndume criticized President Bola Tinubu’s administration, alleging the government is being run by kleptocrats who are only interested in looting the treasury.
