The Senate yesterday allocated another office to former Senate Chief Whip Mohammed Ali Ndume on the fourth floor of the Senate New Wing.
Ndume, who was recently stripped of the position, on Tuesday rejected an office allocated to him on the third floor.
The Borno South senator argued that locating his office on the third floor violated the rule of the Red Chamber, which stipulates that the most ranking senators are allocated offices on the fourth floor.
In a letter addressed to Ndume, the Chairman of the Senate Services Committee, Sunday Karimi, said a new office on the fourth floor had been made available to him.
