Senator Mohammed Tahir Monguno said this on Wednesday after his appointment in replacement of Senator Ali Ndume.
The Borno South Senator, Ali Ndume, was replaced by All Progressives Congress (APC) as Majority Whip following a letter from the party’s leadership read by the senate president, Godswill Akpabio, during plenary.
Monguno said the utterances of Ndume showed he was a disloyal member of the party.
He said the decision of Senator Akpabio and the APC caucus to effect the change was right.
He said, “You know the position of the APC senate caucus is entirely the position of the whole APC and based on what the former Chief Whip of the senate did; his utterances against the government of the APC which clearly portrays him as a disloyal party member.
“Upon this, the party decided to write officially to the President of the Senate for a replacement because it is within the jurisdiction and confines of the party.
Based on that, the senate APC caucus unanimously, without a single voice of dissent, agreed that I should take over from Senator Ndume as Chief Whip.”
Speaking on how he would handle the new position, the Borno South Senator said, “Office the Chief Whip is not a new one to me having sojourned for 20 years in the House of Reps and then ended with the position of Chief Whip for four years and now given the position of Chief whip in the senate it is homecoming.
“It is not a new office. I know what the office involves, the nitty gritty of the office, what it intends to be a chief whip, the jurisdiction of chief whip having held it in Reps. It was destined for me by God to occupy.”>>>CONTINUE FULL READING HERE
