That Senator Ali Ndume has been sacked as the Majority Leader of the Senate is stale news. However, we can tell you for free why and how he was sacked. The Borno State born lawmaker was fired by his colleagues for supporting the Secretary to Government of the Federation (SGF), Mr. David Babachir Lawal when he had a face-off with the Senate and EFCC boss, Ibrahim Magu.

“It’s not an order we are giving. The Senate resolution is a recommendation; it’s not a law. What the Senate considered is work in progress because it was an interim report. It is the same public that is interested and worried to know what we have done as a Senate about those allegations. The committee issued an interim report and the interim report seemed to indict the SGF, the consequences of that indictment is what they recommended but we are not there yet because the report itself is interim. Okay, we take the interim report, we give the public until the whole investigation is concluded.”

“I hear, coming from the SGF that he has not been given a fair hearing, so the hearing has not finished. We can give him time to go before the committee and clear himself.”

Besides, insiders at the Senate disclosed to us that it was Sen. Dino Melaye who spearheaded the sack of Senator Ndume. He was said to have gone round collecting signatures from the senators about Ndume’s sack and he got about 80% of the senators signatures which eventually led to the sack.
