Ndume has every right to contest for the top seat....and for those calling him boko haram leader should be ethically impugned....if he contest and lose I still respect him than the useless sellout Goje who allowed to coerced to one corner....if the legislative arm of the govt is in the executive pocket who will challenge the executive when they start misbehaving? I don't believe in imposing candidate on the senate is the only way the APC govt will achieve is party manifesto or policies

Politician who knows what he want.

All the challenge Saraki gave the executive what did it amount to for the ordinary people? Sarki don cashout don go while miscreants keep hailing him.
We dont want challenge, governance is not about superiority contest...we want national assembly that will work together with executive for the benefit of the people.

Was David Mark a stooge to GEJ? NO! But he wasn't unnecessarily challenging GEJ even when he could. Instead, He worked with GEJ

The only way they can be independent and not seen as rubber stamp is to elect Ali Ndume as the senate president

IgbereBlog:
The Senator representing Borno South, Ali Ndume, has again, vowed not to step down for any candidate in his quest to be the Senate President of the incoming Ninth National Assembly, Igbere TV reports.

He said he was going to contest on the Floor of the Senate on June 11, despite the endorsement of Senator Ahmed Lawan by his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.

He was reacting to the the withdrawal of Senator Danjuma Goje (APC, Gombe) from the Senate Presidency race.

Igbere TV had reported that, Goje, Chairman of Senate Committee on Appropriations, on Thursday said he was stepping down to support Senate Leader Ahmad Lawan for the position.

Goje’s decision to step down came after a closed-door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa, Abuja.

Speaking with journalists on Thursday in Abuja, Ndume said he had no reason to visit President Buhari at the villa in order to step down for Senator Ahmad Lawan, who is the candidate of the APC for the position.

The former Senate leader also dismissed a social media report that he was invited to the Villa by Buhari who directed him to stop his aspiration to contest for the Senate President position.

He said, “Nobody has invited me to the Villa. There won’t be cause for it. My quest to contest the Senate President election Insha Allah on Tuesday next week stands.”

The election of the Ninth Assembly leadership is expected to take place at the first session of the House on Tuesday, June 11, reports Igbere TV.
