Suspended Senator Ali Ndume |

Senator Ali Ndume was on Wednesday suspended by the Senate, just two month after he was removed as leader of the Senate.

Senator Ndume was suspended based on the report of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions.

The committee was asked by the former senate leader to investigate the allegation on Senator Dino Melaye and Senator Saraki.

Ndume stressed that he did not petition the President of the Senate or Senator Dino but demand that the senate looked into the allegations.

The Committee on Ethics headed by Senator Samuel Anyanwu submitted its report and stressed that Senator Ali Ndume lacked concrete evidence to have petitioned Saraki and Dino. It therefore, recommended that the senator be suspended for 181 legislative days, equivalent of one calendar year. Senator Matthew Urhoghide pleaded that the penalty be reduced to six months not one year.

Sen. Peter Nwoboshi seconded the motion to review the duration of the suspension to six months and the Senate thereafter adopted the review and suspension was reduced to six months.
