Senator Ali Ndume believes President Bola Tinubu should be worried if he lacks the support of former President Muhammadu Buhari, emphasizing Buhari’s continued influence in northern Nigeria.
Speaking during a Channels Television interview on Friday, Ndume, who represents Borno South in the Senate, made these remarks following former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar’s politically charged visit to Buhari in Kaduna.
Ndume highlighted that despite no longer being in office, Buhari retains a strong support base, particularly among the northern population.

He characterized the former president’s appeal as deeply entrenched, especially with ordinary citizens in the region, and indicated his own intention to visit Buhari.
“If Buhari is coming here now, you will see people rushing to see him. Everybody, including those in the vegetable market, will rush here. Buhari is still with the Talakawas.
“Tinubu should be worried if Buhari is not on his side. Every number counts, and Buhari has one vote,” the senator said.
Ndume stressed the political significance of every supporter, arguing that Tinubu should value both Buhari’s and his own standing within the political arena.
