The senator representing Borno South at the National Assembly and the immediate past Chief Whip, Mohammed Ali Ndume, has reportedly rejected a new office allocated to him by the Senate Services Committee.

Ndume was recently removed as senate Chief Whip for being critical of President Bola Tinubu.

He was later assigned chairman of tourism committee which he outrightly rejected.

Traditionally he would have to vacate his former office as senate Chief Whip.

But Ndume in a letter addressed to the chairman, senate services committee on Tuesday, said the new office allocated to him does not reflect his status as high ranking Senator.

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.”
