The Senator representing Borno South Senatorial District, Ali Ndume has said that the 2027 presidential election is going to be as tough as the World Wrestling Entertainment, WWE.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, the politician was reminded of the storm building up against his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, with the likes of Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi and Seyi Makinde all in the race

Asked if the APC and President Bola Tinubu can withstand the storm that is coming in 2027, he said, “I am not that worried about it, but at the same time, I don’t take opponents for granted.

“I have said this severally on TV, and that is the mistake most of us are making, especially those around Mr President: having problems telling him the facts. We are going to struggle it out together; it can be hard like the WWE; it’s going to be a tough fight.”

“As I said, even when I made the statement that we are going to reciprocate what the president did to us, many people that I didn’t expect to call me, called and shouted at me.

The president is my president, he is in my party, we’re going to struggle it out together, and this is not the first time, Peter Obi has tried before, Atiku has tried before. Who else again? They are not new in the arena.”
