Ndume also noted that since his intervention in the CBN, FAAN saga, people have been using a particular newspaper to attack him
Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Ali Ndume, has doubled down on his insistence that the planned relocation some departments of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Federal Airports Authority (FAAN), from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja to Lagos by the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration is a wrong move.
The lawmaker made this known in a statement he signed and made available to pressmen, where he stressed that Lagos is already a congested city.
Speaking on the subject, the Borno Senator said he stands by his initial criticism of the decision.

He went on to say since his intervention in the CBN, FAAN saga, people have been using a particular newspaper to attack him.
Ndume said:: “I stand by what I’ve said about the relocation of FAAN and some departments of the CBN to Lagos State. If it is about decongestion, Lagos is not the right place.
“There are CBN offices in all the states of the Federation. Why move the departments to Lagos that is already populated?
“Since my intervention, people have been using a particular newspaper to attack me and saying that I hate the Yorubas. They’re ignorant and they don’t know what they’re saying.”
