Senator Ali Ndume has hinted at the possibility of leaving the All Progressives Congress (APC) if President Tinubu fails to make meaningful changes in the country.
Speaking during an appearance on Arise Television’s “Prime Time” programme, Ndume disclosed that he has attended meetings with opposition figures exploring the formation of a coalition to challenge the APC in 2027.

“I’m aware of the opposition coalition. I went to several of their meetings. I still believe this president can fix these things, but failure might cause me to move. The overloaded ship will sink,” Ndume warned.
“They have been making overtures, but I told them I don’t want to jump from the frying pan into the fire. I have to be sure.
“I believe that Tinubu can be a successful president; that was my expectation, but if he continues this way, that ship, whether you load in other people or governors, you are just endangering the APC, pushing it towards capsizing,” he continued.
“As the president said, there is a vacancy in the ship. But if you overload the ship, it will probably capsize, and if it capsizes, you lose everybody.”
Ndume also faulted the rationale behind some recent defections to the ruling party, suggesting they are motivated more by opportunism than ideological conviction.
“Most people are not joining based on principles but due to the indirect stick-and-carrot politics. And that is not healthy at all,” he added.
