Amidst the recent intensification of individual lives across Nigeria, Senate Chief Whip, Ali Ndume has blasted the President Tinubu administration, saying that it is being controlled by the least qualified individuals and Kleptocrats.
He said this during an interview on Arise TV on Friday.
“I’m supposed to be one of the top members of this government. I have a personal relationship with Mr President dating back long (sic). We believed in Renewed Hope. But as I said, I speak straight. This government is going down because it is now run by kakistorcracts.
“Kakistocrats is a government run by the worst, least qualified and most unscrupulous citizens. This government is run by kakistocrats and kleptocrats.” He said.
Ndume, who is also a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress argued that despite the positive intentions of the President, his team are alien to the agenda.
“Unfortunately that is not what the President is up to; he really meant renewed hope, but you can only do that when you have people around you that are on the same type of thinking,” the Senator added.
However, a senior media aide to the President dismissed Sen. Ndume’s comments.
“Senator Ali Ndume has a notorious reputation for being a loose cannon and a careless talker. His capacity for self-reflection is alarmingly low. Figures like him only remember the plight of the poor and the suffering of Nigerians when their personal ambitions are thwarted. Senator Ndume conveniently forgets the poor and their children when it comes to securing positions for his own offspring in institutions such as the CBN, NNPC, and other prestigious government bodies,” Mr Ajayi said on Friday.
