Tinubu is surrounded by kleptocrats & Bayo Onanuga is a ‘Senior Domestic Staff’—Senator Ndume
The senator representing Borno South, Mohammed Ali Ndume has alleged that President Bola Tinubu is surrounded by kleptocrats.
According to Ndume during an interview on Channels Television’s signature programme, Politics Today, he claimed that many of the appointees around Tinubu were in government to make money.
Asked if he thought Tinubu was aware, he quipped: “I don’t know.”
Ndume also doubled down on his accusation of alleged lopsided appointments made by Tinubu. According to Ndume, the appointments filled by Yorubas include: Minister of Finance, CBN Governor, Customs DG, PENCOM boss, NNPC, FIRS, FAAN, NIMASA, Marine and Blue Economy, etc.
Ndume also kicked against the declaration of Emergency Rule in Rivers State and the removal of the Governor, Siminalayi Fubara. According to Ndume, the action was undemocratic. He said Tinubu ought to have been firmer in calling the warring parties in Rivers State to order instead of slamming a state of emergency.
Ndume also knocked presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga whom he described as a senior domestic staff in repost to being called hypocritical.
He said Onanuga called him names, including branding him as frustrated, hence his decision to return the insult since he is a senator while Onanuga is just a domestic staff of the president.
