Sunday Karimi, the Senator representing Kogi West, has cautioned Senator Ndume to refrain from making derogatory statements against the Tinubu government.
Recall that Mr Ndume had recently accused the Tinubu administration of operating a closed-door government, alleging that most ministers do not have access to the President to intimate him on the hardship many Nigerians are facing.
But Mr Karimi, while addressing newsmen in Abuja, expressed concern over Mr Ndume’s behavior, likening it to that of a loose cannon.
The Senator emphasized the need for constructive dialogue and criticism in governance.
Mr Karimu noted that most of Mr Ndume’s criticisms of the Tinubu administration appear to stem from a personal agenda to undermine the government at all costs.
He pointed out the inconsistency in Senator Ndume’s approach, noting that he had been notably silent during the previous administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari from the North.
Mr Karimi emphasized that many of Senator Ndume’s allegations lack substantiated evidence and are driven by a “pull-down syndrome” rather than a genuine commitment to improving governance.
“As an experienced legislator with over two decades of service in the National Assembly, Senator Ndume is urged to exercise caution in his statements and avoid making inflammatory remarks that could further polarize the polity and divide the nation,” Mr Karimi noted.
The Senator, therefore, called on Mr Ndume to adopt a more constructive and responsible approach to criticism serves as a reminder of the importance of engaging in meaningful dialogue and fostering unity in the pursuit of national development.
“It is essential for all stakeholders in governance to prioritize the collective interests of the nation above personal agendas and political vendettas,” he added.
