Ndume spoke truth to power, fought for Nigerians – Adeyanju

Activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju on Saturday said former Senate’s Chief Whip, Ali Ndume spoke truth to the Nigerian government.
Adeyanju noted that Ndume stepped up and fought for Nigerians.
Recall that Ndume had accused President Bola Tinubu of shutting his doors against Ministers and some lawmakers trying to gain access to him over the hardship Nigerians are experiencing.
Ndume also claimed that Tinubu’s administration is being run by kleptocrats who are only interested in looting the treasury.
Amid his criticisms against Tinubu’s government, the Senate removed him as its Chief Whip despite being a ranking senator.
Reacting, Adeyanju said Ndume should be commended for taking the uncharted path of drawing the government’s attention to its failures.
Chatting with TVN, Adeyanju wrote: “In recent times, Senator Ali Ndume has taken the uncharted path of drawing the government’s attention to its failings. Despite being of the same party as the ruling government, Senator Ndume has demonstrated the rare courage to side with the Nigerian People who are increasingly being impoverished by harsh government policies.
“I commend Senator Ndume for his forthrightness and urge him to continue to stand by his conviction by speaking truth to power. At a time when praise singers have taken over the corridors of power, it is commendable to see Senator Ndume stepping up to fight for Nigerians.
“I urge the government of the day and political leaders across board not to see Senator Ndume as the enemy, but to be wary of praise singers and sycophants whose will rather mask the true state of the nation than tell their principals the truth.
“Thank you Senator Ndume. When the historical account of this period is being recalled, posterity will hold firmly that you did not capitulate to partisan fellowship but broke ranks when it was not fanciful to do so.”
