After Me, Ekweremadu May Be Removed – Senator Ndume
A former Senate Majority Leader, Ali Ndume, has said Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, may be the next to lose his leadership position in the Senate with the way things are going.
Ndume, who was sacked by the All Progressives Congress caucus in the Senate on Tuesday, made the claim during plenary on Wednesday while decrying the way he was removed.
He said, “If today, just like that, without telling somebody and he goes out (he is removed )... If it is Ndume today and he goes out, it may be, God forbid, Ekweremadu tomorrow.”
Although Ndume accepted the decision of the APC lawmakers to remove him as Senate majority leader and thanked them for the opportunity giving to him to serve, he insisted that he wasn't given a fair hearing by the lawmakers.
He said this was more so because he had attempted to resign from the position for the sake of unity among the lawmakers thrice before his removal.
Ndume, along with Ekweremadu, who is of Peoples Democratic Party, and Senate President Bukola Saraki had emerged as leaders of the Senate contrary to the wish of the All Progressives Congress.
