Tinubu Should Be Worried If Buhari Isn’t On His Side - Ndume

Borno South Senator, Ali Ndume, stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should be highly concerned if his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari, is not on his side ahead of the 2027 elections.

Ndume said this during an interview on Channels TV’ on Friday, April 11.

The lawmaker said although Buhari has just one vote, he remains an adorable figure in Northern Nigeria.

Ndume spoke after former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar led key opposition figures to Buhari’s residence in Kaduna on Friday.

“Buhari’s followership has diminished naturally because it is different when you are not in power and after spending like eight years in power. Of course his popularity, everything has diminished, it is natural,  but you can’t write him off especially with the Northern masses. The followership of Buhari has been occultic. You cannot explain it.

If Buhari is coming here now, you will see people rushing to see. Everybody including those in the vegetable market will rush here. Buhari is still with the Talakawas

Tinubu should be worried if Buhari is not on his side. Every number counts and Buhari has one vote. Tinubu should also be worried about my position. Because I have one vote for him. He does not have a vote for me.”
