Senator Ali Ndume, who represents Borno South in the National Assembly, has hinted at the possibility of leaving the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) if President Bola Ahmed Tinubu fails to address the nation’s mounting challenges. In a recent interview, Ndume confirmed his participation in several meetings with opposition coalitions working to unseat Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.

While expressing hope that the president could still turn things around, Ndume warned that continued failure would force him to reconsider his loyalty to the APC.
“I still believe this president can fix these things, but failure might cause me to move. The overloaded ship will sink,” he said, warning that the APC risks collapse if it continues on its current trajectory. He criticized recent defections into the party as opportunistic and not based on principle, calling it a dangerous trend for party integrity.
Despite his criticism, the former Senate Chief Whip maintained that he remains invested in internal reforms, stating, “When you build a house and it’s leaking, you don’t leave the house, you stay to fix it.” However, he reiterated that if things don’t improve under Tinubu’s leadership, he would not hesitate to leave the APC for what he believes is in the country’s best interest.
