Ndume’s comment came barely 24 hours after former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the immediate past Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai, led other opposition leaders to meet the former president at his residence.
Atiku, El-Rufai vowed to sack Tinubu
Atiku and El-Rufai have been at the forefront of sacking President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election. The two politicians have announced that there has been talk among opposition leaders and expressed their determination to sack the president in the next general poll.
They made the revelation following the defection of El-Rufai from the APC to the Social Democratic Party (SDP). The former governor alleged that President Tinubu and the APC have deviated from the party’s promises to Nigerians.
On Friday, April 11, Atiku, El-Rufai, former governor of Sokoto state, and other opposition leaders visited Buhari at his residence, saying it was a courtesy visit extended to the former president for Salah greeting.
Atiku’s visit to Buhari came days after the APC governors-led by the chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum and governor of Imo state, Hope Uzodimma, also visited the former president for the Sallah visit.

But speaking in the evening, Senator Ndume maintained that though the power of former President Buhari has diminished because he is no longer in power, he can’t be written off because of his followership. He added that “the followership of Buhari has been occultic. You cannot explain it.”
Ndume maintained that Tinubu should be worried about the former president if he was not on his side, and himself, because he has one vote for the president. He said:
“Tinubu should be worried if Buhari is not on his side. Every number counts, and Buhari has one vote. Tinubu should also be worried about my position. Because I have one vote for him. He does not have a vote for me.”
