When the North wanted to Hammer Jonathan a Southern President, the used Ndume.

Jonathan fought for his life, accused Ndume of sponsoring terrorism, but Guess what by 2015, Jona was Gone.

But unfortunately, Tinubu is not Jonathan.

Wrong move. But am glad because the North should be taught some political lessons now. So that by 2027 they can also teach Tinubu a bigger political lesson. Yorubas should know that as far as Tinubu is concerned only South West are on their own o. Because when it was Jonathan time he Tinubu didn't consider him as a southern person. So South South and South East will never support Tinubu. Now that he is creating more gap between himself and the north let's see how he can be president again.

Edygrin:
I saw people in the other thread saying Akpabio could do nothing to Ndume because he's a "staunch politician, who stood up to Buhari".

Tinubu and Akpabio no get joy o, they'll give it to the north how they want it o.

The core North adds no value to this nation but always wants power. Anytime the south is president they'll be looking for ways to remove them.

My happiness is that the south is waking up.

them no know Akpabio.
Make them go any level, physical, spiritual etc.

E balm.

All those people they make noise

WizardOfNG:


Even when a Northern cleric demanded Remi Tinubu be killed, did Tinubu have him arrested? Tinubu is one of the most democratic President, fully devoted to freedom of speech, Nigeria has had.

Political Parties have rules same as even your own household, if you have a wife and kids, must have rules other cannot violate casually without repercussion.

The issue, if you know Ndume, is that he is a fifth columnist acting out a well-rehearsed script.

Nowhere in the world can you be devoted to fighting and undermining your political Party and then be allowed to remain in the same Party.

INdume is no champion of democracy otherwise he can leave APC and legitimately fight Tinubu from the opposition bench.

It's amusing how you twist facts to suit your narrative. Your desperate attempt to paint Tinubu as the paragon of democracy while dismissing legitimate criticisms shows a remarkable level of cognitive dissonance.

Freedom of speech isn't just about allowing people to speak; it's also about ensuring that actions align with those lofty ideals. Tinubu's so-called devotion to democracy doesn't negate the fact that political manipulation and power plays are rampant. Your rose-colored glasses are clearly distorting your view of reality.

As for the rules within political parties, comparing them to household rules is laughably simplistic. A political party isn't a family dinner table; it's a complex entity where dissent and debate should be encouraged, not stifled. Your assertion that Ndume is a "fifth columnist" without providing substantial evidence is just another baseless smear.

Ndume's choice to stay within the APC while voicing his disagreements might actually be a sign of his commitment to democratic principles, showing that internal critique is possible and necessary. Suggesting he should leave the party to fight from the opposition is an oversimplified and cowardly way of shutting down dissent.

Your entire argument hinges on blind loyalty to a political figure, ignoring the broader principles of democracy and fair governance. Until you can see past your biases and engage in a balanced discussion, your words will remain hollow and your credibility in serious political discourse will be nonexistent.

Ndume kan, north east kan. Go dig into his profile. Tinubu keeps making mistakes but if that's the way baba God want am. We love it. Nigeria must get better . I don't see him coming back

So, Mr Ndume controls the votes of the millions of people in the North East.

He should contest for Presidency then.

You people will just be making outlandish statements that have no basis.

WizardOfNG:


You'll never have sense. If you want to openly undermine your own political Party and leaders publicly, how can your position continue to be tenable?

Ndume has to be sanctioned and disciplined. If he still fails to toe the line and genuinely stands for the truth as you claim, even as we know his history that suggests otherwise, then he can join PDP or Labour to launch vitriol against Tinubu to his heart content.

Simple.

It's amusing how you think towing the party line is the ultimate measure of sense and loyalty. Your narrow-minded view that dissent within a party is unacceptable shows a lack of understanding of democratic principles and healthy political discourse.

Sanctioning and disciplining someone for voicing their opinion only highlights the authoritarian streak within your beloved party. True democracy thrives on debate, dissent, and the ability to challenge leaders without fear of retribution. Your call for Ndume to be silenced or kicked out of the party just underscores your preference for blind obedience over critical thinking.

If you believe that Ndume's history discredits him, present the facts instead of resorting to baseless accusations and simplistic solutions. Suggesting that anyone who disagrees should just leave and join the opposition is a cowardly way to avoid addressing the real issues within your party.

Your defense of Tinubu and the APC at all costs, even when faced with legitimate criticism, shows that you're more interested in preserving power than fostering a true democratic environment. Until you can embrace the concept of constructive dissent and understand that healthy debate strengthens, rather than weakens, a party, your arguments will continue to lack depth and credibility.

Grow up and realize that democracy isn't about unquestioning loyalty—it's about holding leaders accountable, encouraging diverse viewpoints, and ensuring that the best ideas rise to the top, even if they come from within.

If you are in same position won't you fix your qualified clan people?

Removed for saying the mind of the masses. May thunder fire apc and their goons. Why can't they take the message and leave the messenger? I dey pity whoever that's still having hope on this entity. The country has truly gone to the dogs. Tueh!!! Make nobody preach about nonsense Southern unity and teaching the north a lesson bull crap. Tilumbu is a capital failure. Nonsense!!!!!!!!

If he had spoken like that to Obi, would you had applauded him like ur doing rn??

Tilumbu is a colossal failure. He is gradually digging his downfall with his economic and political mistakes!

Unperturbedpota:
This is a grand political miscalculation that might hunt the incumbent, let's wait and see.

Sacking him for Anti party act is a miscalculation?? you're obviously not thinking clearly

His seat will be de lared vacant since he's no longer a member of any political party. If he decamp to another political party it becomes worse or same.
As Ndume is right now, he has no saving heaven at all.
Democracy is driven on a political party and will learn how not to fight ur driver because if u do, he will have over 10 options on ways to deal with u.
1. He will drop u in a dangerous place in d Bush and expose u to wild animals and bandits alike.
2. He will drive u into a river and u perish if u are not a good swimmer and the Driver may have calculated that he swims very well.
3. He may swam into d river that has so many dangerous species of animal and contaminated water and u are as good as dead.
4. He may swam into an oncoming dangote truck or a stationary tree in a suicide mission. Sometimes he may have juju to escape.
5. He may throw u out of d door while on motion.
Etc...
So anywhere in d world its never permitted especially when u have taken advantage by positioning ur kids in juicy positions.
Sorry Ali Ndume, u are gone.

This is not new or strange to Senator Ali Ndume having been removed as a Majority Leader by the leadership of 8th Senate in a similar circumstance.

However, democracy is not seen to be thriving when all manners of dissent and/or criticisms are frowned at.

Democracy in the mud. So, the presidency is against criticism.

Not from a senator that is an insider, someone that is a stakeholder and beneficiary of democracy where his children and in laws are fixed in choice agencies of government, and above all he has access to presidency but just wanted to be mischievous.

Hemanwel:
Akpabio is openly and obviously becoming the worst senate president ever! From making unguarded utterances to making himself a rubber stamp (or more aptly, barbie) senator! So much mediocrity on one man!

Na lie. I beg to disagree. I like Ndume position, but you cannot be inside painting yourself as different. Come outside and fight the battle dirty. Let saint be saint and the devils be devils.

He has only been kicked out as Party Whip. That's an entirely legitimate and appropriate move.

No one removed him as an APC member or Senator.

If he wishes, he can defect to another party.

Legislative arm in the mud.

Is the legislative arm supposed to be under the control of the Executive with no mind of their own?

This is so far the worst government setup so far.

And we say we're in a democracy?

What a joke!

Bro, you are the joke. Show where this is tolerated anywhere in the world. If your vision of serving the people, as a politician, no longer align with that of your Party then defect to a platform that suits your aspiration.

That is how it is done worldwide. No where in the world will Political Parties tolerate disruptive elements whose only mission appear limited to undermining the Party from within.

Our President has now become an emperor that you can't even criticise his government; this is not Democracy

DeLaRue:


So, Mr Ndume controls the votes of the millions of rge millions of people in the North East.

You people will just be making outlandish statements that have no basis.

Tinubu is to lagos the way ndume is to borno. Not every politician is interested in becoming presoeent or governor. Dig his profile and stop insulting. It doesn't make sense. It rather make you sound illiterate.

blacknp:
You reiterate the point of the person you quoted, then he should just shut up & stop playing the Hypocrite, he who lives in a glass house, should not throw stones.

Where's the glass house? . I reiterated nothing. The moniker only hit ndume with a backlash and I hit him back to tell me who's not guilty of what he acused ndume of? Even trump did same. (planting their children in key positions). That's not a veritable point. He's totally out of point, which is why i always call them illiterates.

yoruboid:

Useless country.
Imagine sanctioning Ndume for saying the truth?
Where is Nigeria going with suppression and intimidation?
APC is curse and we must destroy every fibre of what represents that demonic political party!

Paraman:
He has not being speaking like a responsible person. You fixed your children in NNPCL and CBN but claim to be speaking for the poor ones in your senatorial district you couldn't fix in juicy FG parasatals


He has the choice to resign and join any other political party in Nigeria

Shut that your dirty stinking mouth up there if you don't have any reasonable thing to say.

Your delusion is as amusing as it is misguided. You seem to believe that absolute conformity and blind loyalty are the hallmarks of a healthy political party. In reality, your stance is nothing short of authoritarianism masquerading as pragmatism.

Political parties that encourage debate and tolerate dissent are the ones that thrive and evolve. The idea that anyone who disagrees should simply defect is an oversimplification that ignores the value of internal critique. It’s laughable to think that the only solution is to purge dissenters rather than address the issues they raise.

Your vision of political parties as monolithic entities where everyone must march in lockstep is not only unrealistic but detrimental to the democratic process. The notion that dissent is inherently disruptive shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how robust political systems work. Constructive criticism from within is essential for growth and adaptation.

You accuse others of being disruptive, yet your intolerance for differing viewpoints is the real disruption. It stifles innovation and breeds a toxic environment where sycophancy is rewarded over genuine contribution. If you can’t handle dissent within your party, it’s a reflection of your insecurity and fear of facing uncomfortable truths.

Before you preach about how things are done worldwide, maybe take a closer look at successful democracies. They embrace debate, they tolerate dissent, and they understand that diverse perspectives are their strength, not a weakness. Until you grasp these fundamental principles, you’ll remain stuck in your narrow, authoritarian mindset.

Grow up, and realize that true leadership and effective governance come from engaging with all voices, not just the ones that echo your own. Your obsession with conformity and loyalty at the expense of critical thinking and innovation will only lead to stagnation and failure.

Codes151:
Akpabio is more intelligent than over 95% of northern politicians.

Dey play.

Indeed. The truth is that many are now getting fed up of the born-to-rule arrogance of the North. I am fully behind Akpabio.
