Protesters from Borno South have pleaded for clemency for the sacked Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Ali Ndume.
The protesters under the aegis of Borno South Development Association, who stormed the Unity Fountain in Abuja, particularly asked the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio and the entire Senate leadership to reconsider their decision in the interest of fairness and justice.
Addressing newsmen, the leader of the protesters, Mohammed Ibrahim Biu, described Ndume as a vibrant Senator who has served his people effectively over the years and cannot be sanctioned for telling the truth.
He said Ndume’s removal as Chief Whip is not in the interest of Borno South and Nigeria at large, stressing that justice must be done.
Ndume’s removal is sequel to his pronouncement on national television describing those in government as kleptocrats.
