Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume has rejected a new office allocated to him by the Senate Services Committee
Recall that Ndume’s criticism of President Bola Tinubu-led government led to his removal as Chief Whip of the Senate and Vice Chairman of the Committee on Appropriation.
The Senator representing Borno South in a letter addressed to the Chairman, Senate Services Committee on Tuesday, said the new office given him beneath his status as a high ranking Senator.
This, he said via a letter by his Chief Confidential Secretary, Yati Shuaibu Gawu.
“I am directed to inform you that, Distinguished Senator Mohammed All Ndume, has rejected the allocation of office number 3.10 by the Committee.
“This is because offices are traditionally allocated on seniority basis.
“Sen Ndume is the most Senior Senator after Sen Ahmad Lawan and will only occupy an office on the fourth floor,” Gawu wrote.
Previously Ndume rejected Senate Committee on Tourism chairmanship which he was offered upon his removal from the Appropriation Committee following his censure of Tinubu’s administration.
