I was not used and dumped but feel betrayed – Ndume

Senator representing Borno, Ali Ndume has said he feels betrayed by Senate President Bukola, who was involved in his suspension from the upper chamber.

In a recent interview with Punch, Ndume said he struggled with others to ensure Saraki emerged as Snate President.

He however dismissed assertions that he was used and dumped.

“I don’t want to agree with the assertion that I was used and dumped. God destined that I will be Senate Leader for one and half years. It is God that said my time was over; that was why I was removed although it was done through Saraki. The Senate President was instrumental to my removal but God actually sanctioned it; that was why it was possible for him to remove me. I feel bad, I feel betrayed by Saraki and other people that we struggled together.

“But since they decided to stab me in the back, I leave them to God; He is the ultimate judge. I have since put the matter behind me and I am ready to move on. I thank God that I did not die on the seat. I have no regret. I would have been worried if I did anything wrong. I didn’t say anything that is not true, I didn’t fight anybody neither did I abuse anyone.”

He added that as long as President Buhari is healthy, he is what Nigeria needs at the moment.

Ndume added, “My support for President Buhari is 100 per cent. Buhari is what Nigeria needs now. His initial challenge was his health and everybody prayed for him and he was healed, waxing strong every day. As long as Buhari is strong and healthy, then Nigerian needs no other person apart from him in 2019.

“For us in the North-East and in Borno State in particular, we are morally bound to support Buhari because without him, the insurgents would have wiped us off. Personally, I take him as my mentor. I don’t have political godfathers but I have political mentors in the persons of Buhari and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.”
