Borno South Senator, Ali Ndume, on Tuesday declared that the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar is not a threat but an opponent in the Northeast.
Ndume, however, affirmed his respect for Atiku, saying that politics has its limit and he can’t run anybody down.
Featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Ndume insisted that ADC won’t get up to 20 percent votes in the Gwoza area of Borno State.
He said: “I’m one of those that have always been telling the APC not to underrate your opponent. Atiku is not a threat, he is an opponent in the Northeast.
