Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has warned the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to be wary of the senator representing Borno South, Ali Ndume.
He gave the advice on Sunday while featuring on Channels Television. programme ‘Politics Today’.
Prior to this development, Ndume had criticised President Tinubu’s declaration of emergency in rule in Rivers and asked the president to rather focus on lingering insecurity and the poor state of Nigeria’s economy.
The longest-serving lawmaker in the National Assembly since 1999, also said the incumbent president should be worried if former President Muhammadu Buhari is not on his side.

Ndume’s comments came few hours after former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar led some opposition leaders to visit Buhari in Kaduna.
Reacting to the senator’s remarks, Bwala alleged that the spirit and soul of Ndume are already with the opposition parties.
He went on to hail former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai for having the balls to leave the country’s ruling party and not turning into a “snitch”.
Speaking during the interview, Bwala said, “Let me tell you today and I want everybody to hear, especially the chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Ganduje. Senator Ali Ndume’s spirit and soul are with the coalition; it is his body that is in APC. He is already going.
“It is better the way (Nasir) el-Rufai did: just say I am leaving. You’d give more honour and credit to el-Rufai that he didn’t feel he could stay and be a snitch.”
