Senator Ali Ndume, who represents Borno South Senatorial District, has expressed anger after some youths allegedly threw stones at him during a gathering in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State.
A video circulating on social media captured the senator visibly angry as he complained that people around him prevented him from confronting the youths allegedly responsible for the incident.
In the footage, Ndume condemned what he described as disrespectful behaviour, insisting that younger people must be taught to respect their elders.
“We have never witnessed this kind of thing in Gwoza. Does anyone have two fathers? I have only one father in Gwoza. We will not allow ourselves to be humiliated,” he said.
The lawmaker further referenced the need to uphold discipline and respect for the rule of law, arguing that the country has established institutions to address misconduct.
“This is why we have courts, laws and prisons,” Ndume stated.
Expressing his displeasure over the incident, the senator questioned why he would be subjected to such treatment despite his previous visits to the community.
“Insulting someone is madness. Is this our first time coming here? Is it politics that brought us here? We will not accept this,” he added.
However, those accompanying the senator eventually succeeded in calming him down.
Ndume subsequently continued addressing the gathering in a relatively lighter mood.
The circumstances surrounding the alleged stone-throwing incident, including the identities and motives of those involved, remain unclear.
