Former Senate Leader Senator Ali Ndume has advised President Bola Tinubu to communicate directly with Nigerians on critical national issues. He recently had his say while speaking with journalists after a closed-door meeting with the President, and Nigerians have been reacting.
According to him, Nigerians deserve to hear directly from their leader, especially on the country’s economic challenges and worsening insecurity.
Ndume added that rather than rely on aides and spokespersons, the people will appreciate a leader who speaks directly to them.
His words, “I advised him, and he promised to look into it, to speak directly to Nigerians. Nigerians would expect that your leader will tell you what is going on, instead of other people talking on behalf of Mr President.
There has been a lot of pressure recently on bandits in the North-West, the North-East, and elsewhere. Some of their leaders have been taken out, and some of their commanders surrendered on Thursday. If this tempo is kept, we are sure that this thing will come to an end.
My appointment was for three o’clock. I don’t know what came up, but they had a security meeting. As you can see, the service chiefs came in. So that means the president is sitting up.”
