The All Progressives Congress (APC) has issued a warning to former Senate Chief Whip, Ali Ndume, following his recent remarks suggesting that President Bola Tinubu could suffer the same fate as former President Goodluck Jonathan in the 2027 general election.
Ndume, in an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Sunday, warned that unless President Tinubu draws lessons from Jonathan’s 2015 loss, he could face an electoral upset in the next presidential poll. Jonathan, who contested under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), lost the 2015 election to APC candidate Muhammadu Buhari, who polled 15,424,921 votes against Jonathan’s 12,853,162.
Reacting to the statement, the APC’s Director of Publicity, Bala Ibrahim, told The PUNCH on Monday that while the party respects divergent opinions, it maintains disciplinary mechanisms for members who go against the party’s code of conduct.
“The APC is a large and tolerant party that accommodates different views. However, that does not mean there are no limits. There are laid-down procedures for addressing any act considered as misconduct,” Ibrahim stated.
