The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, said on Tuesday that the party will write to the Senate for reinstatement of Senator Ali Ndume as Chief Whip following his apology to the party.
Ganduje stated this in Abuja after a closed-door meeting with the controversial lawmaker over his latest vituperations against President Bola Tinubu that led to his removal by the Senate two weeks ago. Ndume represents Borno South senatorial district and is a ranking member of the Senate, but found himself in stormy waters over his heavy criticism of President Tinubu’s policies.
Ganduje said: “We are quite satisfied with his apology. Like he said, we invited him and you know the party is the father of everybody. “As a party, we are free to invite legislators, we are free to invite members of the executive, and we are even free to invite all the appointed party members in the government, so that is why we decided to come,” the former Kano State governor said.
