The leadership of the Labour Party has condemned the removal of Senator Ali Ndume as the Chief Whip of the Senate on Wednesday.
Following his sack, Ndume was immediately replaced by the Senator representing Borno North, Tahir Monguno.
“The media practitioners are recoiling into their sheds for fear of reporting the facts about this government for fear of emasculation and incarceration. This is a tyranny of a cabal against a legislative autonomy. Nigeria is gradually descending into dictatorship and we are calling on the citizens to be on an alert and put up a defence against the starvation weapon being deployed by this administration.”
