Ndume was removed as the senate chief whip after his criticism of the current administration led by President Bola Tinubu.
The lawmaker, while reacting to his removal, said after reviewing the conversation that angered his colleagues, his action did not warrant his sack.
He said he declined the chairmanship of the House committee because he lacks the experience and exposure to lead such a sensitive group.
Ndume claimed that he was given the chance to choose which committee to serve as the vice chairman having successfully led the campaigns that brought about the emergence of Godwill Akpabio as president of the Senate.
On the insinuation that he may resign from the All Progressives Congress, APC, the senator said he will remain in the party as a founding member of the party.
According to him, he was one of the twenty-two senators from the PDP that formed the APC when the current national chairman of the party Abdullahi Ganduje was a deputy governor in Kano State.
