Ali Ndume, a former Senate
Leader, has given reason for his meeting with the Vice President, Yemi
Osinbajo.
Ndume disclosed that his meeting
with Osinbajo was centred around humanitarian issues in his state, Borno State.
The lawmaker from Borno State had
met with the Vice President behind closed-doors at the Presidential Villa,
Abuja, yesterday.
When asked by State House
Correspondents if he would step down for Ahmed Lawan, he asked rhetorically:
“Me?”.
“This is not the time to talk now
because I am still holding consultation,” he stated.
He further declined to speak
further on the Senate Presidency race.
However, Ndume, while speaking
with The Nation, disclosed that he never discussed his ambition with Osinbajo.
According to Ndume: “My visit to
the vice president has nothing to do with my ambition. I did not discuss any
political issue with him.
“The vice president has been
deeply concerned on the challenges in Borno State.
“I normally get in touch with him
because of humanitarian issues in our state. This was what I went to discuss
with him.
“I did not talk about my
aspiration to be the next President of the Senate and the vice president also
didn’t raise it.”
