Senator Ali Ndume of Borno South has warned that he might dump the All Progressives Congress (APC) if President Bola Tinubu fails to tackle Nigeria’s growing problems.

Speaking on Arise TV on Tuesday, Ndume, who has been openly critical of Tinubu’s administration, said he still believes the president can turn things around. But if that doesn’t happen, he won’t hesitate to leave the ruling party.

“If I choose to leave the APC, I won’t hide it from anyone,” Ndume said. He also expressed concern over the wave of defections into the APC, warning that the party could collapse under the weight of too many members.

“If Tinubu continues like this, no matter how many people or governors join the APC, it’s risky. When you overload a ship, it can sink the party,” he added.

Kenneth Okonkwo has fired back at Peter Obi, challenging him to explain how he was betrayed after he left the Labour Party. Speaking on Channels TV’s Sunday Politics, the former Labour Party Presidential Campaign Spokesman made it clear that while he worked for Obi, his loyalty was total.

“I never spoke to any politician or political party while I worked for him. I was 100% committed,” Okonkwo said. He explained that when he decided to step away, he made it public and stated clearly that he would no longer speak for Obi.

“People throwing words around don’t even understand what betrayal means,” he added, noting that whatever anyone says about him reflects who they are, not who he is. Okonkwo left the Labour Party in July 2024, following his frustrations with the party’s internal crisis and Obi’s silence on the issues.

He also dismissed claims that he collected money or property from Obi during the campaign. Reacting to Obi’s recent remarks, Okonkwo pointed out that comparing the situation to Jesus and his disciples makes it seem like Obi sees himself as Jesus. “How do you betray someone you’re no longer working for?” he asked.
