Former Senate Chief Whip, Senator Ali Ndume, has rejected his appointment as Chairman Senate Committee on Tourism.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio had given Ndume the new position following his removal as chief whip of the 10th Senate.

The leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) had asked Akpabio to remove Ndume over his recent criticisms of President Bola Tinubu.

Ndume, while reacting to his removal in a chat with newsmen in Maiduguri, Borno State capital, on Friday, defended his action, saying he had no regret.

“On me being removed as Chairman of Appropriation Committee, I was not desperate about it. I was begged to accept the position of Chief whip knowing fully well that I led the campaign for Akpabio’ s Emergence as the senate President and I was begged to choose the committee I wanted and I chose vice Chairman Appropriation committee. I am not desperate.

“I learnt that I was given the Chairman of Tourism Committee; nobody wrote to me, but I want state here clearly that I decline this offer for two reasons; I am not a tourist so I am not interested in accepting the Chairman on Tourism. I am not knowledgeable about Tourism.”

Ndume also urged the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to look into issues that he raised, reiterating that the masses are hungry and angry.

“It is unpatriotic to stand by Mr President with whatever he does, it is patriotic to speak the truth not only to the President but anybody for that matter. It unpatriotic not to speak the truth to power or anybody and still stand by that.

“In doing so, it is also worthy to note that in Hausa language (Allah ya na tare da mai gaskiya) meaning that God is always on the side of truthful people.

“I know I am not wrong; the people are not wrong by speaking the truth and by standing by the truth. I expect the president who I believe that the report has gotten to him to look into what I have said and take appropriate measures to alleviate the suffering.

“People are not happy, people are suffering and angry. Leaders in this country need to take a review; they should get back to me to tell me whether I said anything that is not true or is wrong. It is God that gave me that position and it is God that took it, so I bear no grudge against anyone. Afterall, I didn’t contest to be the Chief Whip, I didn’t contest to be the Vice Chairman appropriation committee, I contested to be the senator of Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“Alhamdulillah, God granted me victory and I am with God.”

This is understandable

Hmmm, lobatan

Resign your position as a senator so that you can face the opposition work fully

If those who didn't benefits close to 20% of what you have been benefiting for decades and they did not die, nothing would happen to you if you are being sidelined this time.

He wants to be forming holy now..Where was he all through Buhari's 8 years?

In case you need to be reminded, Ndume spoke steadily against any Buhari bad policy.
You, your cohorts and your gods must learn to accept criticism.
Meanwhile, I just hope you get well suited stipend in all these defence of a tumultuous government like this, Because I can't fathom how a person can be defending a government that raised for instance a 2006 Toyota Corolla from 3M to 8M just within a year. isn't that not too much no matter the reform you tend to bring, haaabaa

I think the presidency is silently making so many enemies within their circle.

What did you modify, what different do you think that can make.

Did you make this same support or statement about Ndume through out Buhari's government.

Why are some of you chewing hypocrisy raw like this?

You are not knowledgeable about tourism but you are knowledgeable about appropriation committee. They asked you to pick your choice and you picked appropriation. So, you now picked one of the juicest committees in the Senate and you call others thieves. Oga, you erred in playing to the gallery. You wan chop and clean mouth by throwing your colleagues under the bus. Can you swear you didn't collect bribe from the MDAs during budget defense ?Lesson : those that live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones.

God forbids I join main politics. Na stupid people dey vie for political position in Africa ( no disrespecting). You want to build a new road but some houses must go.. Eternity curse on your head

You don't have to join politics before helping those who you indeed know that needs help.

Lol...

Ndume was also very vocal against Buhari when he was president. It's not everybody that allows tribal or party inclination to override their conscience.

Hmmmmmmm

You talk like you are not complete, Ndume has never support bad government one day, he was strongly against Buhari government..

Akpabio is the worst SP in the history of Nigeria's political legislative system.

When you start regretting all your activities later I hope you don't over cry when you read your past comments. How a human being will still be defending APC beats my imagination

No gree for anybody, rebels have mounted

It's obvious, BAT wants to silence dissidents 💯

Akpabio impeachment likely sooner than later 🔥💯✔️

Hunger and anger of the masses, coupled with the insensitivity and greed of the elites caused the French Revolution.

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Thank goodness hunger no dey look tribe. Hunger is the great unifier.

Tinubu, thank you for unifying the masses through hunger. You do well. 😂

Hmmmm you were making a lot of sense until satan insisted that you must rope in Peter Obi . But how do you manage to support Ndume while hateing on Obi ? The two gentlemen are speaking for the masses from their heart.

It seem you 're educated illiterate, what Tinubu did was to stop defending naira against dollar to the detriment of our economic growth like Peter Obi and Atiku promised to do. if you cn
cannot afford the Toyota car, then use public transport as alternative ok.
