The Presidency has issued a stern warning to the lawmaker
representing Borno South Senatorial District, Mohammed Ali Ndume, against what
it described as reckless statement on television.
According to the presidency, such unguarded utterances made
Senator Ndume, a former Senate Chief Whip not to command the respect of any
right thinking person.
The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information
and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, while reacting to the allegations that a cabal has
hijacked Tinubu’s government and that kleptocrats and kakistocrats dominate the
administration, accused Ndume of making a sweeping statement without providing
any scintilla of proof.
“Ndume is entitled to his opinion, as a lone-wolf opposition
within the APC, though he most often gets his facts wrong or builds his thesis
on a specious, faulty foundation.
“Like he lied about General Buratai being ambushed by
terrorists. A ranking Senator making reckless statement on TV cannot command
the respect of any right thinking person.
“His allegation that kleptocrats and kakistocrats dominate
the government is just too sweeping. And he made it without providing any
scintilla of proof.
“Kakistocrats? Does he know the word’s meaning, or does he
just like bandying terms?
“This President has many competent aides, many of whom were
accomplished professionals before coming to work for the government.
“And they are doing a damn good job, reengineering the
country’s economy to ensure it is put on a solid foundation for sustainable
growth,” Onanuga said.
