Tinubu Fire Back Ndume, Says Senator Didn’t Remember Poor Nigerians When He Fixed His Children In CBN, NNPC, Other Choice Agencies
The President Bola Tinubu-led Nigerian government has replied the Senate Chief Whip, Ali Ndume, over his comments that the “Tinubu government is run by incompetent persons.”
Tinubu’s , aide, on media and public affairs, Tope Ajayi, lashed out at the Nigerian Senator, saying Ndume.
Ndume during an interview on Arise TV programme on Friday, had said the country was being led by those who were unfit to govern, prioritising personal interests over the well-being of the nation and its citizens.
In a tweet via his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Tinubu’s aide stated that Senator Ali Ndume had a horrible reputation for “being a loose cannon and careless talker.”
“His capacity for introspection is too low,” he posted on his handle.
He further went on to state that Ndume only remembered to comment because his personal agenda couldn’t be met.
“People like him only remember the poor and the fact that “Nigerians are suffering” when their personal agenda and indulgences can’t be met.”
Tope Ajayi made another allegation, stating that; “Senator Ndume does not remember the poor and their children when it is time to fix his own children into CBN, NNPC and other choice MDAs and state owned enterprises.”
“He made baseless and unfounded allegations against the President that he is cut off from reality of Nigerians. This President is well aware and fully abreast of the current material conditions of Nigerians and he is working very hard to deal with the challenges.”
Tope Ajayi claimed that while there were economic challenges, things were getting back in shape.
“The economy is still facing headwinds but things are gradually turning in the positive direction. A President that gets daily briefings from his team, receives cross-section of Nigerians from all strata of the society almost every day – from business leaders to religious leaders, socio-cultural groups and professional groups can’t be falsely accused of being removed from the realities of the people.”
The post was also retweeted by Bayo Onanuga, another aide to the President.
