Right activist, Deji Adeyanu has commended the lawmaker representing Borno South Senatorial District, Ali Ndume for pointing out the missteps of the President Bola Tinubu-led administration.
Recall that Senator Ndume, a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), recently slammed the Federal Government, accusing the President of failing to deliver on his electioneering promises.
He also said that President Tinubu has been caged by those who do not want him to know the true situation of the country.
In return, the APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje wrote to the leadership of the Senate, demanding among others, the removal of Ndume as the Senate Chief Whip.
Reacting In a statement issued at the weekend, Adeyanu said, “In recent times, Senator Ali Ndume has taken the uncharted path of drawing the government’s attention to its failings. Despite being of the same party with the ruling government, Senator Ndume has demonstrated the rare courage to side with the Nigerian people who are increasingly being impoverished by harsh government policies.
“I commend Senator Ndume for his forthrightness and urge him to continue to stand by his conviction by speaking truth to power. At a time when praise singers have taken over the corridors of power, it is commendable to see Senator Ndume stepping up to fight for Nigerians.
“I urge the government of the day and political leaders across board not to see Senator Ndume as the enemy, but to be wary of praise singers and sycophants whose will rather mask the true state of the nation than tell their principals the truth.
“Thank you Senator Ndume. When the historical account of this period is recalled, posterity will hold firmly that you did not capitulate to partisan fellowship but broke ranks when it was not fanciful to do so.”
