“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.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
