Abuja, Nigeria – Ali Ndume wey dey represent Borno South for National Assembly don distance himself from the whole endorsement matter wey APC governors call for President Bola Tinubu second term. This gist come as Ndume show for Channels Television Sunday Politics, wey no be small talk.
According to Ndume, e compare am with how 22 PDP governors support former President Goodluck Jonathan for 2015, yet e still lose to Muhammadu Buhari of APC. So, wetin make dem think say dis time go be different? Na real question!
Dem governors zero in on Tinubu as their preferred candidate for 2027 elections on May 22, 2025, but Ndume no gree for that matter. E talk say Naija don dey suffer well well – economic wahala, cost of living dey rise like say we dey climb mountain, and insecurity weaving everywhere. “Nigerians dey lose hope. Dem no fit see anything wey dey promising for this Renewed Hope agenda,” e yarn.
As e dey talk am, Ndume reveal say e waka come out from the Banquet Hall for Presidential Villa as soon as dem start the voice vote wey endorse Tinubu. “I come dey think say I go attend summit. But when I saw say na endorsement dem dey do, I just carry leg waka. No be say I don leave APC, but I no dey agree with wetin dem dey do.”
Ndume get history for National Assembly since 2003, first as Rep for Chibok/Damboa/Gwoza before e become Senator for Borno South since 2011. No be small tenure, but e talk say any political endorsement no mean anything if the people no follow suit. “E don happen before, not once, not twice. Dem fit gather plenty people to endorse you, but e no go change anything. Jonathan sabi am well.
“Back then, 22 governors dey shout for Jonathan, but wetin come happen? Na big loss wey Jonathan take collect. Plenty money don waste, even the election come shift, but we still dey make the same mistakes. I dey pity Mr. President,” Ndume conclude. E really don talk wetin wey dey pain many Nigerians for this political matter.
