Senator Ali Ndume Questions Tinubu’s Re-Election Bid

Borno South Senator Ali Ndume has distanced himself from the endorsement of President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid, citing the country’s current challenges. Ndume’s comments come after 22 APC governors unanimously adopted Tinubu as the party’s candidate for the 2027 election.

Ndume pointed out that former President Goodluck Jonathan had the endorsement of 22 PDP governors in the 2015 election, yet he lost his re-election bid to Muhammadu Buhari. This historical context has led Ndume to question the wisdom of endorsing Tinubu for re-election amidst the country’s economic and security challenges.

Ndume expressed his concerns about the state of the country, stating that “things are very bad” and implying that the current circumstances may not be favorable for Tinubu’s re-election bid.

Ndume’s comments have sparked debate about the APC’s decision to endorse Tinubu’s re-election bid. As a high-ranking APC member, Ndume’s dissenting voice may have significant implications for the party’s dynamics and the 2027 election.

Senator Ali Ndume’s reservations about Tinubu’s re-election bid highlight the complexities and challenges facing the APC and the country. As the 2027 election approaches, it remains to be seen how these dynamics will play out and what impact they will have on Nigeria’s political landscape.
