Senator Representing Borno south senatorial district, Ali Ndume, who is also running for Senate Presidency under the All Progressive Congress, APC, has released his seven point agenda.

As you may know, the All Progressive Congress itself has endorsed Senator Ahmad Lawan for the position, but notwithstanding, Ali Ndume who is a onetime senate leader rejected the decision by the All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership, saying the move was not in line with the constitution and vowed to continue with his campaign.
