What Nigeria Is Growing Into Was Planted By Your Northern Brother, Buhari – Bwala Blasts Ndume
A former spokesman for the Atiku Abubakar/Ifeanyi Okowa presidential campaign in the 2023 presidential election, Daniel Bwala, has lampooned the Chief Whip of the 10th Senate, Mohammed Ali Ndume, following his recent remark about the incumbent government.
CityNews reports that Senator Ndume, during a recent chat on BBC Hausa, criticized President Bola Tinubu’s government over its inability to address security challenges and other issues bedevilling the country.
The federal lawmaker further asserted that some ministers have been unable to meet with the President to discuss pressing matters.
“The major problem with this government is that its doors are closed, to the extent that even some ministers cannot see the President, not to mention members of the National Assembly, who do not have the opportunity to meet with him and discuss the issues affecting their constituencies,” Ndume had said.
The senator representing Borno South senatorial district since 2011 also told reporters at the National Assembly that the president had lost touch with reality as some forces had caged him at Aso Rock.
Reacting, however, in a publication titled, ‘Ali Ndume, the rant of an expert in grandstanding’, Bwala said Ndume was unfit to criticise Tinubu.
According to him, whatever Nigeria is growing into today, the seed was planted by former President Muhammadu Buhari, who he described as brother to Senator Ndume.
Bwala questioned Ndume about what he had achieved in over two decades that he has been representing his senatorial district.
His statement reads: “Senator Ali Ndume has continued to show a lack of leadership quality by any standard.
“He is just a beneficiary of a system that promotes Stockholm syndrome. Otherwise, how could a man with relatively less political value continue to represent people for 21 years, yet enmeshed in endless controversies with little or nothing to show in his Senatorial District?”
“Of course, he knows his people too well. Like Maxwell clearly stated in Law 20 – The Law of Explosive Growth, John Schnatter, one of America’s best makers of pizza, had said – It is my job to build the people who are going to build the company.
“The question therefore is, how many people has Senator Ali Ndume built in his 21-year sway at the National Assembly? As a 2-term House of Representatives member from 2003 through 2011, and now a 4th term Senator representing the people of Southern Borno in the Red Chamber, who are his mentees who have gone on to excel in life?
“Senator Ndume has thrown caution to the winds with his continuous attempt to mudslide, denigrate, asperse and besmirch the name of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He continues to make it look like the situation Nigeria finds herself in is President Tinubu’s making.
