Borno South Senator Ali Ndume has said for the US lawmakers to indict former New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, presidential candidate, Rabi’u Kwankwaso as fundamentalist means something may be fishy somewhere.
Ndume said this on Friday while fielding questions in an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television.
He expressed shock that Kwankwaso’s name was mentioned, stressing that he wants to know how the former Kano state governor got implicated or mentioned.
DAILY POST reports that United States lawmakers initiated a new bill aimed at increasing accountability for human rights abuses in Nigeria.
The legislation, Nigeria Religious Freedom and Accountability Act of 2026, contains provision for potential sanctions against Fulani militias and former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso.
Reacting, Ndume said, “What I’m sure is that this is a bill introduced that has gone through both first reading in both the Senate and the House. I’ve been trying to get my hands on the copy of the bill and what it contains but it’s not yet in the public domain, but it is only when I get the details that I can react.
“In the summary, I know that the bill is recommending sanctions and even visa ban and confiscation of assets and all that.
“For them to mention Kwankwaso, I think something may be fishy somewhere Nothing to worry about, if somebody is actually clean.”
Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has spoken after escaping an assassination attempt.
DAILY POST had reported that gunmen attacked the convoy of the former Anambra State governor in Edo State on Tuesday.
Obi spoke in a video circulating online following the attack at the residence of former APC National Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun, where gunmen reportedly opened fire, riddling the gate and several vehicles with bullets.
“This is where our democracy has reached. A former governor, and you can see what happened in front of his house, where hoodlums came shooting.
“I assure you this cannot continue; we have a country, and we are a part of it. We cannot have terrorism and have officials in government terrorising the citizens.”
The incident reportedly occurred shortly after Obi, Odigie-Oyegun, and other political figures attended the formal declaration of Barrister Olumide Akpata into the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Benin.
A video from the scene showed visible bullet holes on the estate gate and damaged vehicles, indicating the intensity of the attack.
The National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Yunusa Tanko, said the attackers allegedly trailed the group from the ADC Secretariat to Odigie-Oyegun’s residence before opening fire.
According to him, the assailants shot at the gate and destroyed several official vehicles in what he described as a failed assassination attempt targeting the political leaders.

At the same time, parties that aspire to higher standards must weigh the balance carefully. In a country where citizens routinely express cynicism about elite accountability, gestures that appear to prioritise loyalty or familiarity over pristine optics can fuel skepticism.
