Ndume, who was too shocked, however, gave a clear details of what happened at the plenary.
He said, “I was leading the business of the senate and I asked Bala Ibn N’Allah to sit in for me to pray and on coming back the session ended.
“I didn’t know that there was a change because I went to pray. I don’t know if I am no longer the senate leader.
“I was not invited for any meeting. There should be a procedure. The announcement came to me as a surprise, I can’t tell you more than that.”
Recall that Ndume’s replacement, Sen. Lawan in a mock election on June 6, 2015, was adopted as President of the Senate by the All Progressive Congress before Saraki eventually emerged as the Senate President.
