Those Close To Tinubu Are Pushing Detrimental Reforms – Ndume

The lawmaker representing Borno South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Ali Ndume, has urged President Bola Tinubu to tackle the hardship suffered by citizens before it is too late.

In a statement released in Abuja on Friday, Ndume claimed that certain bad actors close to Tinubu are responsible for pushing harmful reforms and policies which are aimed at destabilising the government.

He said, “Those who are bent on making the president look bad will stop at nothing in inflicting pain on Nigerians through the so-called reforms until things get out of hand, and the blame will be on President Tinubu.”

Ndume also advised the Tinubu administration to address the suffering caused by hyperinflation, which has been worsened by the frequent price hikes of essential goods and services.

He added, “I’m appealing to him (Tinubu) to resist these bad people who want to pitch the people against his administration.

“The hardship these people are inflicting on Nigerians is becoming unbearable. I’m currently in Borno, and I know what I’m talking about. People are really suffering, hungry, frustrated, and angry.”

According to the senator, many families in Borno can’t feed themselves anymore, adding that the hardship caused by frequent price increases was unimaginable.

He added, “Farmers can’t move their products because of the high cost of transportation. That’s why I’m begging him (Tinubu) to do something before it is too late. It is not good to test the patience of Nigerians, and that’s exactly what these bad advisers are doing.”

“As soon as the President returns to Nigeria, I urge him to look into these issues and address them urgently. The purchasing power of Nigerians is too poor, and they can’t afford the things being pushed on them every day by enemies of the state.”
