The senator representing Borno South in the National
Assembly, Mohammed Ali Ndume, has raised the alarm that certain fifth
columnists are working hard to sabotage the administration of President Bola
Ahmed Tinubu.
Ndume said the astronomical increase in the prices of fuel,
food, essential goods and services is becoming unaffordable to average
Nigerians and the poor that form the majority
In a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja, Ndume
said the bad elements are trying hard to pitch the people against the
administration of President Tinubu by pushing for harsh reforms and bad
policies instead of controlling inflation and exchange rate that are making
life unbearable for Nigerians.
The ranking senator said those who are bent on making the
President look bad will stop at nothing in inflicting pains on Nigerians
through the “so-called reforms until things get out of hand and the blame will
be on President Tinubu.”
While advising the administration of President Tinubu, Ndume
said many families can barely meet up with daily demands in their houses as a
result of the hyperinflation caused by incessant increase in the price of
essential goods and services.
Ndume said: “I personally believe President Bola Ahmed
Tinubu means well for Nigeria and Nigerians. I know this because I know what he
stands for. But some of his advisers who don’t mean well for the people of this
country give him wrong advise.
“I’m appealing to him to resist these bad people who want to
pitch the people against his administration. The hardship these people are
inflicting on Nigerians is becoming unbearable. I’m currently in Borno, and I
know what I’m talking about. People are really suffering, hungry, frustrated
and angry.
“In Borno State here, many families can’t even feed anymore.
The untold hardship of these frequent increases in the prices is unimaginable.
Farmers can not even move their farm products anymore because of the high cost
of transportation.
“Those who can still do this add the cost of transportation
to the prices of food items they sell, and that’s why many people can’t feed
again. People can’t travel anymore. To travel by road from Abuja to Maiduguri,
for instance, is a fortune. How many of our people can afford that?
“I know that President Tinubu means well for Nigerians, and
therefore he should not stay back and allow a few bad advisers to destroy this
country. That’s why I’m begging him to do something before it is too late. It
is not good to test the patience of Nigerians, and that’s exactly what these
bad advisers are doing.
“As soon as the President returns to Nigeria, I urge him to
look into these issues and address them urgently. The purchasing power of
Nigerians is too poor, and they can’t afford the things that are being pushed
on them every day by enemies of state.”
