Trouble appears to be brewing in the Senate as Senator Ali Ndume who was Tuesday removed as the leader of the senate insist he maintains his position in the upper legislative chamber.

The senate had Tuesday removed Ndume and appointed Senator Ahmed Lawan representing Yobe North in the Senate as the new senate leader.

Ndume described as laughable, the report of his removal as the Senate leader, insisting he still remain the leader of the Upper Legislative Chamber.

Ndume, in a press briefing on Tuesday shortly after the news of his removal broke, said he is unaware of his removal by the APC Senate Caucus.
