In a reaction to Wednesday’s removal of Ali Ndume as Senate chief whip over his criticisms of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration, Lukman said the action of the APC under the leadership of former governor of Kano State, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, showed the fanatical mindset undermining Nigerian democracy.
In a statement titled: “Fanatical Mindset,” released in Abuja yesterday, the former director-general of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) said it was a shame that the APC Senate Caucus would permit such an illegal act.
He said that by doing so, the lawmakers had set a precedent that would further erode the independence of the National Assembly (NASS).
