Senator Ali Ndume, who represents Borno South in the National Assembly, recently called Daniel Bwala a “maga dog” during a TV interview. This slang term refers to someone who can’t be trusted and may turn against those who help them.
Ndume said he’s not afraid of Bwala and doesn’t see him as a political threat. According to Ndume, even if Bwala gets the party ticket, he won’t win any election in Borno State. He mentioned that Bwala had once run for a Senate position but lost badly.
The senator also said he’s not worried about any plans to remove him or replace him in the National Assembly, adding that Bwala has no real support from the people.
This comes after Bwala accused Ndume of secretly meeting with opposition groups about the 2027 elections. Bwala denied any interest in contesting for Ndume’s Senate seat but criticized the senator for not delivering on promises after spending 21 years in office. He also said Ndume doesn’t like being criticized and that his supporters threaten people who speak against him.
The tension between both men continues as political discussions heat up ahead of the next general elections.
