Senator Sunday Karimi, the lawmaker representing Kogi West in the National Assembly, has cautioned Senator Ndume, urging him to refrain from making derogatory statements against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s led government.
The Kogi Senator made this assertion while reacting to Senator Ali Ndume’s claim that Tinubu is isolated within the Presidential Villa without knowledge of Nigerians’ plight.
Recall that Ndume raised concerns about the rising cost of living and food shortages.
The senator pointed out that even some ministers are unable to meet with President Bola Tinubu to discuss these problems.
But in a statement made available to TimesNow.com.ng on Saturday, July 13, Senator Karimi expressed concern over the behaviour of the Senate Chief Whip, Ali Ndume. He likened it to that of a loose cannon and emphasised the need for constructive dialogue and criticism in governance.
He highlighted that most of Senator Ndumeâs criticisms of the Tinubu administration appear to stem from a personal agenda to undermine the government at all costs.
The Kogi senator pointed out the inconsistency in Senator Ndumeâs approach and noted that he had been notably silent during the previous administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari from the North.
According to Senator Karimi:
Moving forward, Senator Sunday Karimi urged his colleague Ndume, to “adopt a more constructive and responsible approach to criticism serves as a reminder of the importance of engaging in meaningful dialogue and fostering unity in the pursuit of national development. It is essential for all stakeholders in governance to prioritize the collective interests of the nation above personal agendas and political vendettas.”
In a similar development, TimesNow.com.ng reported that a public affairs analyst, Daniel Bwala, disclosed when President Bola Tinubu will unveil his new cabinet.
The lawyer-turned-politician said President Tinubu would unveil a new cabinet in a couple of days or weeks from now.
He said Chief Whip of the Senate, Mohammed Ali Ndume was unfit to criticise President Tinubu, describing him as âthe rant of an expert in grandstandingâ.
