“The President Is Shielded, He Doesn’t Know What’s Going On” – Ndume

By Gideon Njoku

The Senator representing Borno  South Senatorial District, has said  that President Bola Tinubu is  disconnected from the daily struggles of the masses. “The President doesn’t know what’s going on”, Ndume said.

Speaking in an interview with Channels Television, Ndume said that the President is so shielded by

Presidential Advisers that even when he is outside the Villa, he does not see the sufferings of the people. He is in a car which glass windows are tinted, Ndume said, so, he doesn’t see.

Ndume: “The people are not happy. Several people have said it, and the President also is not pretending. He acknowledged that there’s hardship; he’s acknowledged that things are very difficult, and even recently, he appealed that people should be patient with him.”

But  Ndume worries about how long the people’s patience will last.

His words: “The question is, how long will they be patient? And things are very difficult, and certainly, so many things have not been done the way the people are expecting. And to be honest with you, if you can go back to the electorate today, half of them are not happy. You can’t say they are; you can’t lie about that.”

The Senator disclosed that what angers him most are the deception and the lies they tell the President.

His words: “I see people lying, and I see people telling the President what he wants to hear, or maybe some of them even he doesn’t want to hear them.

“My position on the people around the President that are supposed to help him is that they are deceiving him and are doing more harm than good.

“Let me say that it is because the President cannot go out on the street like myself and know how the people feel. Even outside the Villa they will drive him in tinted glass, he doesn’t even see what’s going on.”
