Ali Ndume, a senator from Borno South who serves in the National Assembly, has stated that he believes his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), will continue to hold power in the center following the 2027 presidential election.
He claims that Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Rotimi Amaechi, the leaders of the opposition African Democratic Congress (ADC), are not developing any fresh strategies to oppose President Bola Tinubu.
However, the long-time politician stated that the opposition should not be undervalued during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday.
“I am not worried because nobody is coming up with something new. Everybody is talking about it is either Bola Ahmed Tinubu or Atiku or Amaechi or Peter Obi. I don’t see anything that they put on the table,” Ndume said.
“The man holding the steering now is Tinubu, but those that are trying to take over, and the ADC itself, every day it’s here and there. Initially, I had a lot of confidence, but when you find people concentrating on themselves for the power they can get, it’s not a big deal.
“Up till now, despite the fact that they have strong personalities, they have not been able to actually put their house in order. But you can’t underrate any opposition, no matter how small.

“Remember, that was how PDP was thinking about APC initially — that APC is not serious. Buhari tried several times; he didn’t make it. So, I’m not writing Atiku, Obi or Amaechi off.”
He added that having a strong opposition is very necessary in every democracy.
According to him, Nigerians will put the President back in office if he can take the battle against insecurity extremely seriously, protect Nigerians, enhance the electricity sector, and increase citizen welfare.
Although he acknowledged that Nigerians may not be happy with the APC, Ndume insisted that the ADC is not a threat.
He claimed that Nigerians won’t have any trouble voting for the APC because they are forgiving until the government is able to address issues of welfare and insecurity.
