“I Don’t Want to Jump From Frying Pan to Fire I Have to Be Sure” — Ndume on Joining Opposition
Senator Ali Ndume, who represents Borno South, has admitted he might consider joining the coalition working to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027, though he’s not in a hurry to make that decision. Speaking on Arise TV on Tuesday night, Ndume confirmed that he has attended several of the coalition’s meetings but made it clear he’s being cautious.
“I know about the opposition coalition. I’ve attended many of their meetings,” he said. When asked if the group had approached him to join them, Ndume responded, “Yes, they’ve spoken to me, but I told them no for now. I don’t want to jump from frying pan to fire. I need to be sure of what I’m doing. I’m a loyal person, and I have my reasons for that loyalty.”
His comments follow reports that the opposition coalition plans to rally around the newly proposed All Democratic Alliance (ADA), which has applied for registration with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The coalition is believed to be led by political heavyweights like former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai, former Anambra governor Peter Obi, ex-Rivers governor Rotimi Amaechi, among others.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
