“He was removed from office as Senate Whip based on a complaint by the National Chairman of the APC for saying what others have been saying.
“Nothing he said was new. We believe President Tinubu being a listening leader, has started implementing some of the advice given by Senator Ndume that is why the new minimum wage bill was recently passed and approved by him.
“We wish to appeal to the Senate President and the Senate to reconsider this decision.
“He was occupying that position as the only position occupied by the Southern Borno Senatorial District in the National Assembly,” Biu added.
