Excerpts of Ali Ndume's interview with Seun Okinbaloye's PoliticsToday on ChannelsTV

Bwala and Ndume, a four-termer in the Senate, hail from the same Borno South Senatorial District

Seun Okin: Politically, are you threatened?

Ndume: No

Seun Okin: Because what we are hearing on the ground, is that maybe there is one of the Advisers to the President who is been prepped to replace you.

Ndume: Who is that?

Seun Okin: Maybe you should know

Ndume: No, I don't know and I am not scared

Seun Okin: Are you scared of Bwala?

Ndume: Bwala?

Seun Okin: Daniel Bwala?

Ndume: Bwala cannot win House of Assembly member in my State.

Seun Okin: But if he is given the ticket, I mean the ticket for your....

Ndume: Ticket is a different thing, election is another thing. Bwala tried to be a Senator, did he get anywhere? I don't want to talk about Bwala.

Seun Okin: But who are you referring to as the attack dog, is it only Bayo you are referring to?

Ndume: Bwala is a maga dog

Seun Okin: What do you mean by that?

Ndume: Check

Seun Okin: My English has not gotten up to that.

Ndume: Check.

Seun Okin: What do you mean by that?

Ndume: Google maga dog

Seun Okin: My Google isn't working at the moment, but is it fair now to refer to your kinsman in that light. That's not fair. If he comes after you, will you like it?

Ndume: Who will come after me?

Seun Okin: You said they came after you and you are not happy about the manner and words they used.

Ndume: Tomorrow, Bwala can come out, he has done it before. These are people that have abused people like Obasanjo. People like Bishop Matthew Kukah, people like Wole Soyinka, people that are old enough and respected, Bwala has insulted them all including the President.

Bwala reacts

Senator Ali Ndume, your frustration is aging you by the day. I am not planning to run for senate, and there is no plan to replace you with my humble self in Southern Borno.

If anything, i think you are hunted by your utter failure to deliver on any promise to southern borno after over 21 years of representation in NASS.

No wonder, Southern Borno excluded you from the list of honorees in the recent excellence award given to distinguished sons and daughters of Southern Borno.

You criticise leaders freely but anytime you are called out, your soldiers, or boys issue death threats to people.

You allegedly meet and hobnob with coalition for a wild goose chase at night, and pretend to be an APC member during the day.

There is no need calling me an offensive name on Channels TV this evening, because you are an elder.

Anytime my name is mentioned you can’t help but insult me, but you would not tell the world how you drove to my office to thank me immensely for ing you when Sen Saraki suspended you and was dealing with you. How about when you wanted to be senate president how you came to my law office and waited for me for 2 hours to come.

Please note that respect is reciprocal

Bwala is the Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Policy Communication

See how Bwala finished this Bokoharam side chic , very mature reply, blunt, concise, jaw dropping and suicide provoking. Ndume is like a dog who loves barking at you but when he sees your faeces on the ground, he will wag its tail and start eating it. Kudos to Bwala.


After God, na Tinubu 💪 God bless Nigeria

Kettle calling pot black

You can't recognized a maga dog without being one

The shameless dog-return-to-it-vomit government attack lapdogs have woken up.

Take Ndume seriously at your own peril, he would never come out to say how many favours he has gained from the Government personally. He can pick up his phone and call the CBN Governor to offer one of his children a job and he'd get it done. But anytime, things do not go their way, they start throwing tantrums. He was removed as Chief whip and redeployed to a lesser juicy committee. That explains his hurting. Just like Natasha, when she was enjoying estacodes on foreign trips sponsored by the Senate President, no one hears of any bleep but as soon as her seat was removed, she wouldn't mind scattering everywhere. We all heard what Buba Galadima said about the President offering her daughter a job in NUPRC with just a phone call yet Galadima is a member of NNPP. That's just the reality among the political class but the hypocrisy and gullibility of the public is just as high.


-Kiss the truth!

😂😂

Bwala can never stand election and won , he should be humble when people like Ndume speaks. Bwala simply lives on political appointment. He's a neophyte politically where the likes of Ndume is.

That's okay

Akpabio should suspend this one, I want check something fess

Salvo

All of you are on the same page but turned upside down.
You're all running for your bellies

Seems all the frustrated Politicians are now taking turns to wail.

Obi did it for 18 months
Atiku for 2 months
Amaechi 2 days
El Rufai for 3 weeks
It's now Ali Ndume's turn


Who is next?

Good one from both parties

Maga dog-thing dog... Kai

Still surprised none of Tinubu attack dog has barked since last night, this Boko-man carpeted attack gods and their principal.


When oga is performing abymisally, always very difficulty to defend him, meanwhile when a boss surrounded himself with his kinsmen too many, it's recipe for failure.

Still don't know why yesteryears freedom fighter cannot do the way his tribe man did when he held sway as a president.

Oh I see, Ndume wants to be Senate President!

He should the Hell Rufai/Atiku coalition.....like Saraki, they will reserve the seat for him. But he needs to do 1,000 Arise TV and Channels interviews....work just started for him....

“Maga Dogs" are people that can not be trusted because they can turn on you quickly, Check out Peter Tosh's song Maga Dog 🎶

A terrible name to call a person. Except it fits the character.

What is Bwala saying?

Bwala has zero political value. If you show solidarity with someone and he comes to show appreciation, does that mean you're a big name?

If Ndume needs Bwala's legal service (which he'll pay for) and decides to wait for 2hrs, does that mean Bwala helped him?

He should tell us something like "Ndume begged me to step down for him", "Ndume begged me to give him some of my loyalists/delegates", "I bought Ndume's form for him (like Wike says every eke market day" etc

Bwala hasn't said anything to make us see Ndume like an ingrate or something like that.

Maga dog.

Ndume: Bwala is a maga dog

Seun Okin: What do you mean by that?

Ndume:: Check

Seun Okin: My English has not gotten up to that.

Ndume:: Check.

Seun Okin: What do you mean by that?

Ndume:: Google maga dog

Seun Okin: My Google isn't working at the moment.....

Ahahahaha 😅😅😅😅

I did not see any finishing here, all i see is someone who has so much respect for Ndume, as you can see he was being economical with his choice of words, anyway who expect Agbados who has nothing upstairs to understand anything other running around Nairaland like headless chicken, spit

Tinubu compensated some people with the post of SSA to the President on the media just to reduce Hunger in the land
People like Reno Omonkey. Daniel Bwala, Bayo Onanuga..... etc can't survive on their own resources

Bwala shouldn't speak when men are talking, not to talk of man like Sen. Ali Ndume.
Bwala is an asslicker. More like an ashawo with no garage. For chinkili money you can buy his loyalty. Ali Ndume on the other hand is not someone that can be bought.
There is a difference.

I always enjoy Ali Ndume on TV although I hear he has not done much for his people in Born even after being a four-term senator. Daniel Bwala is worse than a maga dog although I, like Seun Okinbaloye was hearing the word for the first time

Junior Domestic Staff of Tinubu.His Senator Domestic Staff is still rolling up his sleeves and tros before launching an attack. Ndume will finish all Tinubu's staff with targeted shots

Imagine a whole leader of a constituency talking this way?

To be very honest I used to respect this Ndume before but his recklessness in talking ed me off him he is filled with bitterness and in severe pain, LP should have be his party because LP is the party for bitter people, party for frustrated political thieves.

1. Mr Ndume was the first Senator to shout, 'the North will never agree' to the Tax reform bills, and promised 'there will be consequences' for the President if the bills are ed to law.

The House ed the bills, and I think it's just left for the Senate to it, and the President to sign it.

His rable rousing on the bills will come to naught.

2. When the CBN moved the banking regulations team of the CBN back to Lagos (logical since that's where over 90% of all Bank headquarters are located), and also because the CBN headquarters in Abuja was so over populated that some staff couldn't even find a place to sit, Mr Ndume was the first to rush to the media to accuse the government of 'short-changing the North'. He also threatened 'consequences'.

That was until it was revealed in the press that his children are among many politicians' children 'working' at the CBN.

Following the revelation, the man quickly kept quiet on the issue

Now, in order to curry the favour of mostly naive social media s, he is now pretending that he cares about the people in the South. Hence his sudden fake repulsion about the State of Emergency in River State.

We haven't even explored allegations of his connections to Boko Haram.

The man is 100% all about himself. Selfish, deceiving, and a manipulative ethic rabble ro.

MadamVanessa:

Win... And you think you can tie Bwala's shoe lace with your blunders?. Internet is really a leveller.

I dont any of this two. I the poor downtrodden and rubbished masses.
But u see this statement

How about when you wanted to be senate president how you came to my law office and waited for me for 2 hours to come.

That is outright childish and immature for an adult, not to talk of a presidential spokesperson

Think9ja:

So, what made Ndume go to his office sitting down for hours to see him?. I thought Bwala had no value to him?
