Senator representing Borno South  Senator senatorial district, Ali Ndume, a key supporter of Godswill Akpabio and deputy speaker Barau Jibrin during their recent election, has made it clear that he should not be held accountable if Akpabio fails to meet expectations in his new role as the Senate President.

Following the inauguration of the 10th National Assembly, Senator Ndume appeared on Channels Television’s Politics Today yesterday, where he addressed concerns about his endorsement of Akpabio and the potential repercussions on his own reputation.

When asked whether Akpabio’s performance would reflect on him as one of his endorsers, Ndume countered the notion, stating, “I don’t think that is right. I’m not Akpabio. Even before God, Akpabio will account for his own; I will account for mine.”

Ndume firmly believed that he should not bear any responsibility for Akpabio’s actions in his new position.

Acknowledging his endorsement, the Majority Leader of the ninth Senate admitted, “I said he’s the best. If he turns out to be the worst, I’m not going to be responsible. How can you hold me accountable? I didn’t force anybody to vote. I believe he’s the best, but I don’t know what he will do tomorrow. I can’t say that.”

Ndume emphasised that his expectation of Akpabio’s performance is based on their four-year acquaintance.

He highlighted Akpabio’s previous role as a minority leader while he served as the majority leader, emphasizing his intelligence, passion for certain issues, and his ability to transcend tribal affiliations.

He said with a background as a qualified lawyer, minister, and commissioner, he said Akpabio possesses the necessary qualifications to meet the expectations of Nigerians.
