Resist bad advice people are suffering -Ali Ndume tells Tinubu

Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume, representing Borno South, has raised concerns that certain individuals are working to undermine President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration. He highlighted the sharp rise in fuel, food, and essential goods prices, which has become unaffordable for many Nigerians, particularly the poor.

In a statement, Ndume warned that these elements are attempting to turn the public against Tinubu by pushing harmful reforms and policies rather than addressing inflation and exchange rates. He stressed that these actions are designed to harm Nigerians and place the blame on the president. Ndume urged the government to address the rising costs, as many families are struggling to meet their daily needs due to hyperinflation.

Ndume said: “I personally believe President Bola Ahmed Tinubu means well for Nigeria and Nigerians. I know this because I know what he stands for. But some of his advisers who don’t mean well for the people of this country give him wrong advise.

“I’m appealing to him 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.

“In Borno State here, many families can’t even feed anymore. The untold hardship of these frequent increases in the prices is unimaginable. Farmers can not even move their farm products anymore because of the high cost of transportation.

“Those who can still do this add the cost of transportation to the prices of food items they sell, and that’s why many people can’t feed again. People can’t travel anymore. To travel by road from Abuja to Maiduguri, for instance, is a fortune. How many of our people can afford that?

“I know that President Tinubu means well for Nigerians, and therefore he should not stay back and allow a few bad advisers to destroy this country. That’s why I’m begging him 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 that are being pushed on them every day by enemies of the state.”
