Ali Ndume, senator representing Borno south, says President Bola Tinubu cannot solve Nigeria’s challenges alone and needs people who can offer ideas to address the country’s security and economic problems.
Speaking with State House correspondents in Abuja on Thursday after meeting Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Ndume said he had requested an audience with the president, who granted the meeting immediately.
“I actually sought the audience, and I was immediately granted it. The president was also looking forward to meeting with me,” he said.
“We used to have this interaction before, but somehow it stopped. Now, the interaction has resumed.”
In 2024, Ndume said it was difficult to secure an appointment with Tinubu because the president had been “shielded from reality” by some of his appointees.
He said the late Muhammadu Buhari was “a more accessible president”.
