The lawmaker representing Borno South Senatorial District, Ali Ndume, has called on President Bola Tinubu to declare a state of emergency on the nation’s security and economy sectors.

He made this call on Friday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Daily where he also faulted the President’s declaration of a state of emergency in the oil-rich Rivers State.

“Let the President forget about everything and concentrate on three things – security, welfare of citizens and economy,” he stated.

“His attention should go there as number 1, then he should create a state of emergency in those areas.”

Describing himself as a democrat, he said Tinubu’s declaration of emergency in rule in Rivers was surprising.

He said the President acted in a wrong move by that action on March 18 following the protracted political crisis in the state.

In a nationwide broadcast, Tinubu suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara; his deputy Ngozi Odu; and all the of the House of Assembly for six months.

The president nominated Vice iral Ibokette Ibas (rtd) as to take charge of the affairs of the state for the first six months.

The president relied on Section 305 of the 1999 Constitution to make the proclamation. The section interprets a state of emergency as a situation of national danger, disaster or terrorist attacks in which a government suspends normal constitutional procedures to regain control

But Ndume stated that he expected the President to have gathered the political actors and resolve all lingering differences rather than the proclamation.

He also denied claims that the political actors ignored Tinubu’s directives prior to the emergency rule imposition.

“I feel that the President would have worked seriously on bringing them (and) solving the problem than (declaring a state of emergency). Call them, seat them down and say ‘go and sort your problem.

“How can you ignore the President? When he removed them now, did they ignore the removal?” Ndume queried.

Loud am baba, loud am

Insecurity in this country is the most lucrative business these days.
We have Governors that don't care if the only people they're governing are their political appointees, if the masses like, they should all perish.
Is the President even aware of the state of the Nation?
Fulani Jihad and terrorists are having a filed play and the president no send anybody.
The Economy isn't doing well.
The Masses are dying daily,
Jihahadists and their ers are smiling.
This is the Nigeria of today.

Ndume...

Hehehe .

1,2,3 oyaa o,the APC zombies food don show.
You guys should come out and do your job of attacking anyone who says the truth.

The country is doing terrible but Rivers and Akpabio/Natasha bruhaha is all the useless government cares about.

The ones I pity are the people defending this government on empty stomach,yes you are the one am talking about. You know your self.

But on a serious note,Ndume get bad mouth,he just called Ononuga a kitchen aid on the other trend,now he is here giving them another uppercut .

He even went further to call the people surrounding Tinubu kleptocrat's . This is getting interesting.

On arise new he asserted that "Tinubu's attack dog's" will soon come out barking .

Let’s speak plainly — Tinubu has no plan. None. What started with hope has spiraled into blind economic pillaging.

Oil prices are crashing, yet instead of belt-tightening or fostering local production, he’s borrowing like a terminal gambler at the end of his tether. From fuel subsidy to forex, he’s removed every cushion from the average Nigerian’s life — without building a single project to show for the suffering.

Compare him to Obasanjo — who, despite criticisms, paid subsidies, built national infrastructure, secured debt forgiveness, and didn’t mortgage our children’s future in exchange for fragile IMF kudos. Tinubu? He’s selling off tomorrow for today’s press release.

He borrows with no repayment strategy, as if the loans only matter after he’s long gone. He’s looting our collective credit score, leaving a scorched-earth fiscal landscape for whoever comes next. Every contract, every deal, every policy reeks of survivalist governance — not nation-building.

We wanted a strategist.
We got a desperado with a calculator.
The painful truth: Tinubu’s presidency is costing us more than money — it’s bleeding our future.

2027 go hot small o

Honestly

Apc slaves go soon flood here they defend their slavemaster failure

Tinubu is more docile than the docile former president buhari.

This state of emergency Tinubu declared in Rivers State is simply political suicide. It has made a mess of everything reasonable and democratic Tinubu claimed he is. Only time will tell.

If a few senators can be bold like senator Udume. The drug criminal he goat would have a rethink in all aspects of governance. Just imagine what is happening in Rivers , very pathetic. The unstable drug addict has killed democracy in Nigeria

Ndume is really on Tinubu's neck . Useless party

So, na now you say Economy and Security need SoE abi?

Under Buhari when Myeti-Alla Cattle group dey cause wahala you say anything?
Boko-harm boys did alot of damages but you didn't say anything?
Nigeria Economy was collapsing but you didn't find your voice.

Abeg, parkwell make we see from joor.

What we have been saying since day 1!

No state of emergency declared on:

Insecurity across the nation
Corruption in Public service and Judiciary
Electricity across the nation
Poverty
Health care



Everything to you Nigerian leaders begins and ends with winning elections.

Balablu and Wiike planned everything to hijack and put Rivers state in their pockets.
Na Rivers state I pity sha.

Tinubu is just a democratic fraudster

Ndume should shove his own advice into his own ass

Hypocritical Ndume

Pa NDUME was BLIND ,,MUTE and DEAF for 8 years. He just regain his sight/sanity now.

But u had the chance on d floor of the Senate to oppose Rivers state of emergency but u did not, neither did u stage a walkout like Seriake Dickson. When Akpabio called for a voice vote u did not raise ur hand to object neither did u shout "neigh". So who are u seeking to deceive here

Àgbàlagbà tó nṣe langbalangba!

That pathetic lunatic drug lord don’t know anything just like his brother helanus

The most foolish is Wike 🤷

I think Ndume meant to say that the economy and security should be prioritized above Rivers state.

I agree with him.

Ndume is just talking nothing.
Maybe Ndume should volunteer and bring the warring factions to a peaceful state.

Was Ndume not in the country when Gov. Fubara sought the help of PBAT and the intervention he gave or what exactly does Ndume want PBAT to do?

God bless Ndume

tundegan:

I agree with him.

The insecurity in the North did not start during PBAT istration.

In short it was the very reason they all ganged up against the istration of PGEJ and brought in PMB. So where was Ndume during PMBs istration and were they not still having insecurity issues in the North?

What solutions has Ndume brought forward to resolve or mitigate such in his home State of Borno and his own constituency during the PMBs istration?

Had this man did this during buhari's tenure, I would hv ed him but doing it now is nonsense. Most of the problems we're facing 2day were caused by buhari their brother.

Lol this are the northerners that would vote Tinubu like

Ndume will always speak his mind. No be today.

Ndume criticised Buhari o!. Even though don't like him.
