Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume, representing Borno South in the National Assembly, has rejected the new office allocated to him by the Senate Services Committee.
In a letter addressed to the Chairman of the Senate Services Committee on Tuesday, Ndume stated that the office assigned to him does not reflect his seniority and high-ranking status in the Senate.
The letter, signed by his Chief Confidential Secretary, Yati Shuaibu Gawu, reads: “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.”
Recall that Ndume was recently removed from his position as Chief Whip of the Senate following his criticisms of the Bola Tinubu-led government. As a result, a new office was allocated to him.
