Senator Ali Ndume, a former Senate Leader has disclosed to newsmen his reasons for having a closed door meeting with the Vice President of Nigeria, Prof Yemi Osinbajo in Aso Rock.
Ali Ndume disclosed that his meeting with Osinbajo was centered 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 a consultation,” he stated.
He further declined to speak further on the Senate Presidency race.
However, Ali Ndume, while speaking with The Nation, disclosed that he never discussed his ambition with Osinbajo.
According to Ali 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.”
