[PHOTOS] Governor Shettima Leads Borno Monarchs To Beg Saraki Over Ndume Suspension
Borno state governor, Kashim Shettima, on Friday, led a high-powered delegation from Borno state to Senate President Bukola Saraki in Abuja.
The visit came two days after the senate handed a six-month suspension to Ali Ndume, a senator from the state.
The ethics and privileges committee had recommended Ndume’s suspension because he moved a motion that Saraki and Dino Melaye, senator representing Kogi west, be investigated.
