The ruling All Progressives Congress APC, is about losing one of its pillars, Ali Ndume, the Senator, representing Borno South.
The lawmaker has said he may be on his way out of the APC due to his dissatisfaction with the state of affairs.
The party chieftain disclosed during his appearance on “Prime Time”, on Arise Television that he might be teaming up with former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, Nasir El-Rufai and Peter Obi in the coalition party they are promoting to dislodge President Bola Tinubu from office in 2027.
He confessed to attending the meetings of the coalition, adding that what was holding him back is his desire to see if Tinubu could still turn things around for good for the country.
“I’m aware of the opposition coalition. I went to several of their meetings. I still believe this president can fix these things, but failure might cause me to move. The overloaded ship will sink,” Ndume said.
“They have been making overtures, but I told them I don’t want to jump from the frying pan into the fire. I have to be sure.
“I believe that Tinubu can be a successful president; that was my expectation, but if he continues this way, that ship, whether you load in other people or governors, you are just endangering the APC, pushing it towards capsizing.”
The lawmaker warned that despite the capacity of the party to accommodate more politicians, ‘overloading the ship, it will probably capsize, and if it capsizes, you lose everybody.
“Most people are not joining based on principles but due to the indirect stick-and-carrot politics. And that is not healthy at all,” Ndume said.
