Senator Ali Ndume has rejected his appointment as chairman of the Senate Committee on Tourism.
Ndume, who represents Borno South in the 9th assembly was appointed by Senate President Godswill Akpabio on Wednesday to head the committee shortly after he was sacked as the Chief Whip of the Senate.
However, Ndume announced on Friday in his country home at Maiduguri, the Borno State capital that he lacks the experience and exposure to lead such a sensitive group.
He also maintained that he was unjustly removed as the Chief Whip, stressing that his comments did not warrant the sack.

On the charge to resign from the All Progressives Congress (APC), the senator said he is 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.
He, however, stated that when former President Muhammadu Buhari in the company of President Bola Tinubu ordered him to sign a document to join APC at the Imo House in Abuja, he informed his people before going public as such, he would consult his people before deciding on whether to leave the APC or not.
