Borno South Senator Ali Ndume has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s inner circle, saying the president is surrounded by people who depend on him and are therefore unable to give him honest feedback or tell him when policies are not working.
Speaking in an interview on Trust TV on Friday, June 26, 2026, Ndume said he has met the president only twice since Tinubu assumed office in 2023.
He described this as one of the major challenges facing the current administration.
“The president knows me to some extent. I give it to him that he has so much to do. Since 2023, I have met the president only twice. I said it before that Tinubu’s problem is the people around him,” Ndume stated.
He added that virtually everyone around the president consists of his long-time dependents.
“I can tell you authoritatively that 95% of people around Tinubu are his dependents even before he became the president.
