“Senator Ndume fought for Nigerians by speaking truth to power” – Deji Adeyanju says

Nigerian activist, Deji Adeyanju has praised former Senate Chief Whip, Ali Ndume for criticising the Bola Tinubu-led administration.

Recall that Ndume had accused Tinubu of shutting his doors against elected and appointed government officials trying to gain access to him to raise concerns over the hardship Nigerians are experiencing.

The lawyer said the ranking senator, despite being a member of the president’s party (All Progressives Congress) demonstrated rare courage and spoke truth to power.

Adeyanju said the lawmaker representing Borno South stood up and fought for Nigerians ‘when it was not fanciful to do so’.

Speaking in an interview with Daily Post, Adeyanju said Ndume should be commended for taking the uncharted path of drawing the government’s attention to its failures.

He said: 

“In recent times, Senator Ali Ndume has taken the uncharted path of drawing the government’s attention to its failings. Despite being of the same party as the ruling government, Senator Ndume has demonstrated the rare courage to side with the Nigerian People who are increasingly being impoverished by harsh government policies.

“I commend Senator Ndume for his forthrightness and urge him to continue to stand by his conviction by speaking truth to power. At a time when praise singers have taken over the corridors of power, it is commendable to see Senator Ndume stepping up to fight for Nigerians.

“I urge the government of the day and political leaders across board not to see Senator Ndume as the enemy, but to be wary of praise singers and sycophants whose will rather mask the true state of the nation than tell their principals the truth.

“Thank you Senator Ndume. When the historical account of this period is being recalled, posterity will hold firmly that you did not capitulate to partisan fellowship but broke ranks when it was not fanciful to do so.”
