The Dr Abdullahi Ganduje-led National Working Committee NWC of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC on Tuesday summoned Senator Ali Ndume to explain his recent utterances against President Bola Tinubu which led to the former’s removal as Senate Whip.

Speaking after the meeting, Dr Ganduje said the party was satisfied with Ndume’s apology and would convey same to the leadership of the Senate with a view to having it review its position.

Ndume was removed after the NWC wrote the Godswill Akpabio led Senate, complaining of the Borno senator’s utterances against Tinubu.

Speaking after the meeting at the national secretariat of the APC, 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.

“It is a family issue, we need to resolve it and we are writing to the National Assembly conveying what has transpired between Senator Ndume and the party and you know he apologized to the party and we will convey the same issue to the National Assembly, with the hope they can review their position”.

On his part, Ndume conceded that rather than raising some issues on national television, he should have complained to through the party leadership.

He said; “Yesterday, I was invited by the party and here I am to discuss family matters. Actually the national chairman is not just a national chairman to me but a father. With what has happened which you are all aware, it is not surprising that I was invited to hear my own side and we had family discussions and I actually accepted the mistake of not talking to the party as a last point and I promised the party that all my observations as a senior member of the family should have terminated or ended with the party. That is something that moving forward I will do but whatever I said or whatever I did was out of patriotism and those issues maybe said strongly but they are true but then I should have talked to the party as the last bus stop.

“My membership, I have not been expelled, even the party did not say we don’t want you here, because he is my father, the party is my father, the only thing the party said is that look if you don’t want this house you can go to any house. Where will I go? This is my house.

The President and the Senate have nothing to do with this. The President did not take offence, I didn’t insult the President, I didn’t say anything against the party but I left the party out of reaching it on issues and so, please I think that is all I can say”.

Why the back and forth

Woreva

Fast losing his Arewa support-base, Tinubu's camp is desperately mending fences.

Ok

Hmm

Coward move by the APC

Ndume has finally seen the light!

It's good to know that the APC is a family that resolves issues amicably.

The party stands strong behind Tinubu, and Ndume's apology is a step in the right direction.

With unity, APC will continue to thrive and deliver for Nigerians.

He will not be reinstated as Senate Chief Whip. Senator Mongunu is doing a great job as Senate Whip already. He will be recognized as an APC member and then named the Chairman of one inconsequential committee.

Northerners do not forgive that's one thing. As it stands now the whole not will rally behind Atiku he will win 2027 election.

Especially if Obi backs him. Tinubu is gone and should just forget reelection. Let him enjoy this his 4 terms if he can finish it at all.

Desperation for nothing will kill Tinubu.

This is Nigerian politicians for you

Zero integrity
Zero strategy

After the party successfully bring Nigeria back to stone age....

I have carefully observe you and my conclusion is that you are a wicked soul.
But be careful else your wickedness may consume you soon!
My one cent advice thoigh

Ndume's realization is commendable. It's important for party members to remember that unity is key, especially in these times. A strong party is built on communication and understanding, and it's good to see him acknowledging that. APC is all about family, and I believe this reconciliation will strengthen our resolve moving forward. Together, we can achieve more!

Finally, some good news! Ndume has been a strong voice for the party, and it's about time he gets the recognition he deserves. This is a step in the right direction for APC, showing that they value loyalty and commitment. Let's see how this plays out in the Senate!
