Ousted Senate Chief Whip, Mohammed Ali Ndume, has declared that he stands by his recent criticisms of President Bola Tinubu’s administration and has no regrets about his comments. This comes after his removal by the APC’s National Working Committee, which also suggested he resign from the party.
In a recent Arise TV interview, Ndume voiced concerns over Tinubu’s handling of poverty, insecurity, and hunger. Following these remarks, Ndume was also removed as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriation and offered the Chairmanship of the Senate Committee on Tourism, which he rejected.
Speaking in Maiduguri, Ndume stated: “I have no regrets about my comments. It is patriotic to support the president when he serves the country well and unpatriotic not to oppose him when he fails. I thank Nigerians who supported my statement on the hardships under Tinubu.”
Ndume emphasized his commitment to his constituents and stated that any future political decisions would be guided by their advice. He also ruled out taking legal action over his removal, surrendering his case to God, and called on supporters to remain calm and law-abiding.
