Northern Group Wants Sen. Ndume Expelled for Causing Unnecessary Criss in National Assembly

Northern  Group Wants Sen. Ndume Expelled for Causing Unnecessary Criss in National Assembly 



Northern based group under aegis of Arewa Progressives Forum for Good Governance (APFGG) has accused the former Senate Whip, Senator Ali Ndume of stirring up unnecessary crisis and undermining the National Assembly.

The group with members across the nineteen States of North also expressed displeasure over failure on side of Senator Ndume to reach out to President Bola Tinubu privately for talks rather  than  criticising the government’s policies to gain cheap popularity.

But in a reaction  to his attack on the President in a statement signed by Mal Ibrahim Musa Bichi, the Chairman  of Arewa Progressives Forum for Good Governance, the group posited that it is ironical for Senator Ndume, representing Borno South Senatorial District and a member of the ruling party to use the media to call on  President to tackle the hardship suffered by citizens,when he's part of same government.

 According to the group,Ndume's blanket allegation that members of the National Assembly are thieves is not only disparaging,but also unacceptable for a ranking Senator. 

The statement further reads:" From information gathered from Some of our members from Borno, his inability to attract meaningful development and projects to his Constituency and State because of antagonist position it not encouraging.

"It is true that politics is a game of number,but also about dialogue and lobbying government to ensure development are drawn to state and people.We have not seen anything tangible he has done for his people ,even as one of longest serving lawmaker in the National Assembly.

"The big question is,Why should the public take someone such as Ndume serious, when he has not done anything serious for his Constituency?

"It is on record that for this same antagonistic posture,during the era of Saraki as the Senate President,he was suspended. It clearly demonstrates that he wont change,thus he should be expelled and his seat declared vacant .

"Recalled that his party, the All Progressives Congress did ask the  Senate to relieve him of his position as the Senate Chief Whip over his relentless public criticisms of President Tinubu and the ruling APC, a party to which he belongs.

"The work of a Lawmaker is not about "Seeking Attention" but making laws that would better lots of the citizens.

THE NEED TO STRENGTHEN THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT OF THE NIGERIA POLICE FORCE FOR EFFECTIVE JUSTICE DELIVERY

THE NEED TO STRENGTHEN THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT OF THE NIGERIA POLICE FORCE FOR EFFECTIVE JUSTICE DELIVERY By Hamza Nuhu Dantani, Esq. Constitutional Lawyer and Rights Activist. Every day across Nigeria, police officers risk their lives to arrest armed robbers, murderers, kidnappers, rapists, and violent criminals. Yet, time and again, these same criminals walk free, not because they are innocent, but because the system fails at a time it matters most: the courtroom. At the heart of this systemic failure lies a silent crisis—the grossly neglected legal department of the Nigeria Police Force. Understaffed, underfunded, and overwhelmed, this vital arm of law enforcement is struggling to prosecute crimes, defend civil suits, or even appear in court. The consequences are grave: lost cases, emboldened criminals, and a justice system that increasingly serves the powerful while frustrating victims and ordinary citizens. This is not just a capacity problem; it threatens public safety, ...

His remarks address ongoing public debate and criticism surrounding the initiative. During a media briefing at the ECN Headquarters in Abuja on Friday, Dr. Abdullahi defended the project as a “strategic investment in sustainability, self-reliance, and universal energy access.” The initiative aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s commitment to transforming Nigeria’s power sector, including providing stable electricity and prepaid meters nationwide.
