Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume, representing Borno South at the National Assembly, has turned down the new office allocated to him by the Senate Services Committee.
In a letter addressed to the committee chairman on Tuesday, Ndume expressed that the new office did not align with his seniority and high-ranking status in the Senate.
The letter, signed by his Chief Confidential Secretary, Yati Shuaibu Gawu, states, “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 Chief Whip of the Senate, a consequence of his criticisms of the President Bola Tinubu-led government, leading to the decision to allocate him a new office.
