People around Tinubu forcing reforms likely to pitch people against govt — Ndume
By Jeffrey Agbo
Senator Ali Ndume (APC/Borno South) has urged President Bola Tinubu to resist people around him pushing the reforms that are causing hardship in the country.
The lawmaker said in a statement on Friday that the reforms are capable of pitching the people against the Tinubu administration.
He said, “Those who are bent on making the president look bad will stop at nothing in inflicting pain on Nigerians through the so-called reforms until things get out of hand, and the blame will be on President Tinubu.”
Ndume also advised the Tinubu administration to address the suffering caused by hyperinflation, which has been worsened by the frequent price hikes of essential goods and services.

He added, “I’m appealing to him (Tinubu) to resist these bad people who want to pitch the people against his administration.
“The hardship these people are inflicting on Nigerians is becoming unbearable. I’m currently in Borno, and I know what I’m talking about. People are really suffering, hungry, frustrated and angry.”
According to the senator, many families in Borno can’t feed themselves anymore. He added that the hardship caused by frequent increase in petrol price is unimaginable.
He added, “Farmers can’t move their products because of the high cost of transportation. That’s why I’m begging him (Tinubu) to do something before it is too late. It is not good to test the patience of Nigerians, and that’s exactly what these bad advisers are doing.
“As soon as the President returns to Nigeria, I urge him to look into these issues and address them urgently. The purchasing power of Nigerians is too poor, and they can’t afford the things being pushed on them every day by enemies of the state.”
