Ali Ndume, former senate leader, says his love for truth might be the reason he “sometimes run into troubled waters”.
Speaking with reporters in Borno on Sunday, Ndume said he did not set out to be a senator.
“I am an extrovert personality, and I have always stood on the side of the truth. Maybe that is why I sometimes run into troubled waters,” he said.
“I never planned to be a senator at the onset, it was God’s decision. My target was to contest for the deputy senate president, but I ended up as the leader. So, I thank God for everything.”
He also promised to stand with President Muhammadu Buhari if there is any political re-alignment in the country.
He said Buhari has been his mentor, and he would always be where the president is.
“I want to say that nobody has contacted me yet on any political re-alignment. But for Muhammad Ndume, whenever there is any political re-alignment, you will find me where President Muhammadu Buhari,” the senator representing Borno south, said.
“Buhari has been my long time mentor. When your mentor is on one side, you are expected to be with him no matter what.”
There has been reports on a planned political realignment ahead of the 2019 general election.
