Senator Ndume Broke Down in Tears after Voting in Maiduguri

A Senator representing Borno South senatorial district, Sen. Ali Ndume, wept after casting his vote at the Internally Displaced Persons’ camp located in Government College, Maiduguri, on Saturday.

Ndume, a native of Gwoza, said his burst of emotions was caused by the suffering his people are going through at the camps, saying the experience was horrible.

“Any time I come to this camp, I always break into tears because of what I see. I always try to pull myself together but my emotions always failed me. I can’t control my emotion because I see people that were wealthy that were now suffering. People who used to give
out to other people had now become beggars. This is the failure of leadership in our country and I hope this election will give us the desired change that we yearn for,” Ndume said.
