The senator representing Borno South, Ali Ndume, has compared the 2027 presidential election to the intense drama of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

During an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, he was asked about the growing opposition against his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), with contenders like Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Seyi Makinde vying for the presidency.

When inquired whether APC and President Bola Tinubu could withstand the impending challenges of 2027, Ndume replied, “I’m not overly concerned, but I recognise that opponents should never be underestimated.”

“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.”
