Borno South Senator, Ali Ndume, has claimed that he could leave the All Progressives Congress, APC, if President Bola Tinubu does not fix things in Nigeria.
Ndume made these remarks on Tuesday, while making an appearance on Arise TV.
The lawmaker has publicly criticized Tinubu’s government in recent months, demanding better governance from this administration.
He has now threatened to dump the APC if the president doesn’t fix the many problems of the country.
“If I decide to leave the APC, I will not to hide it.
“I still believe President Tinubu can fix things. Failure to fix those things may cause me to leave the APC,” Ndume said.
Ndume also warned that too many defections to APC could be dangerous for the ruling party.
“If Tinubu continues this way, it doesn’t matter if he loads more people or governors, you are just endangering APC.
“When you overload a ship, it might lead to the capsizing of the party.”
2027: I don’t want to jump from frying pan to fire – Ndume speaks on joining coalition
The Senator representing Borno South, Ali Ndume, has admitted he could join the coalition which is seeking to remove President Bola Tinubu from power in 2027.
Ndume, however, insisted he does not want to jump “from frying pan to fire”.
The lawmaker stated this while speaking on Arise TV on Tuesday night.
Ndume also revealed that he has been attending the meetings organized by members of the coalition.
“I am aware of the opposition coalition. I have gone to several of their meetings,” he said.
Ndume was then specifically asked if the coalition have made overtures to him.
He replied: “Yes, but I told them no.
“I don’t want to jump from frying pan to fire. I have to be sure.
“I am a loyal person and I have my reasons for being loyal.”
Ndume’s comments come amid speculation that the coalition is looking to adopt the proposed All Democratic Alliance, ADA.
ADA is a new political party that recently applied to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for registration.
The coalition is spearheaded by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar; former Kaduna state governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, former Anambra state governor, Peter Obi; former Rivers state governor, Rotimi Amaechi; and other prominent politicians.
