Borno South Senator, Ali Ndume, on Sunday, distanced himself from the endorsement of President Bola Tinubu for a second term in office.
The senator, who has been in the National Assembly for over 20 years, was a guest on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics programme.
According to him, former President Goodluck Jonathan secured the endorsement of 22 governors of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the 2015 poll yet he lost his re-election bid to Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
On May 22, 2025, 22 APC governors unanimously adopted Tinubu as the APC candidate for the 2027 election.
Ndume, a high-ranking APC member, said he did not support the decision of the APC governors as “things are very bad in the country” at the moment.
He lamented the harsh economic situation, the skyrocketing cost of living in the country and the insecurity ravaging parts of Nigeria. “Nigerians cannot see any hope, they are doubting the Renewed Hope,” he said.
According to him, he stormed out of the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa in Abuja when the governors endorsed the president for re-election.
