Ali Ndume accept fate, thank his Senator colleagues for time in Office

The former Majority Leader, Sen. Ali Ndume has accepted his removal from the position, which he assumed on June 9, 2015.

Ndume accepted his fate in a point of order raised at plenary on Wednesday, a day after he was dramatically replaced by Sen. Ahmed Lawan (APC-Yobe).

Ndume, who quoted Order 43, said that the senate was an institution that must be protected by law makers.

He thanked his colleagues for the confidence reposed in him, while he served them as majority leader.

According to him, the senate is an institution that must be protected through obedience to senate rules and the traditions.

Ndume said that as a senator, he was not better than any of his colleagues, adding that they are all equal in the senate.
