 APC Warns Senator Ndume Over Comments Comparing Tinubu to Jonathan’s 2015 Defeat The All Progressives Congress (APC) has issued a warning to former Senate Chief Whip, Senator Ali Ndume, over his recent remarks cautioning that President Bola Tinubu could face a fate similar to former President Goodluck Jonathan’s 2015 electoral defeat if current challenges are not addressed. The party emphasized that while it welcomes diverse opinions, it has mechanisms to discipline members who violate its constitution. In an exclusive interview with newsmen on Monday, APC Director of Publicity, Bala Ibrahim, described Ndume as a respected party leader but stressed that the party expects members to express views in line with its progressive ideals and established rules. “The APC is a liberal-minded party that tolerates diverse perspectives, provided they do not violate the party’s constitution,” Ibrahim said. He added that the party has “machinery for censorship or punishment” for actions deemed c...

 Ndume Clarifies Misrepresented Claim as Buratai Denies Attack in Borno Senator Ali Ndume, representing Borno South, has clarified that his recent comments about an alleged attack on former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (retd), were misinterpreted. Ndume’s statement, made during a Sunday interview, was misconstrued to suggest that Buratai, who shares his name with Buratai town in Biu Local Government Area, was personally targeted by insurgents. In the interview, Ndume raised alarms about worsening insecurity in Borno State, stating, “We are in a dire security situation. Just two days ago, Buratai was attacked at the front operations base in Borno. Some soldiers responded gallantly, but the insurgents managed to destroy several military assets.” The comment was mistakenly interpreted as an attack on the former army chief, who served as Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff from 2015 to 2021 and played a key role in the country’s counterinsurgency efforts. On Monday, Ndume clar...

 A Texas man is charged with murder after beating a man to death for "throwing a beer at his car", however the beer had actually been left on the hood of his car by his own passenger.  35-year-old Ye Myint Aung was left laying behind a Houston gas station for 12 hours after suffering an incredibly vicious beating. 911 was not called until a patron saw him lying on the ground suffering from obvious serious trauma. The patron who called 911 did so despite the protests of other patrons who she quoted as saying, "whatever you do, do not call 911". The 911 call was placed on May 23rd at approximately 9:30 p.m. An ambulance responded and transported Aung to a nearby hospital where he languished until eventually succumbing to his injuries on May 25th. An investigation was launched after the discovery of the horribly beaten Mr. Aung. Authorities quickly determined the suspect and the motive in this completely senseless death.  22-year-old Lansello Martinez was arrested and ...
