President Bola Tinubu cannot tackle Nigeria’s deepening security and economic challenges alone and must broaden consultations while engaging more directly with Nigerians, Senator Ali Ndume said on Thursday after a meeting with the president at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The senator representing Borno South said he urged Tinubu to draw on the ideas of experienced Nigerians to confront the country’s worsening insecurity and economic hardship, stressing that no leader could single-handedly solve Nigeria’s complex problems. He also advised the president to communicate personally with citizens rather than relying on aides and government officials.
Speaking with State House correspondents after the meeting, Ndume said Tinubu welcomed the resumption of their regular consultations and proposed more frequent engagements in a less formal setting to exchange ideas on national issues.
“I actually sought the audience, and I was immediately granted it. The president was also looking forward to meeting with me,” Ndume
