He is a rabble rouser stoking divisive narratives – Presidency slams Ndume over comment on Tinubu’s appointments.
In a statement he shared, Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, dismissed Ndume’s claims, stating, “Senator Ali Ndume’s latest outburst on TV about so-called ‘lopsided appointments’ by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu reeks of hypocrisy and selective perception.”
Onanuga defended the President’s appointment strategy, asserting, “The President’s appointments are—and will continue to be—based on merit, integrity, geographical spread and a demonstrable capacity to serve the Nigerian people, not Ndume’s cherry-picked tribal arithmetic.”
He urged the senator to be more responsible in his public statements. “We urge Ndume to elevate public discourse and avoid misinformation and baseless criticism. This is a disservice to the nation and the behaviour least expected from a Nigerian Senator,” Onanuga said.
