Incompetent aides around Tinubu causing him embarrassment, says Ndume

Senator Ali Ndume has criticized some members of President Bola Tinubu's administration, calling them "kakistocrats" or the least qualified, and claiming their incompetence is causing embarrassment for the President. Ndume made these remarks during an interview on Arise Television's Prime Time programme, where he warned that unless the President takes decisive action, these members will continue to "mess him up."

He lamented the discovery of a fake government agency under the administration's watch, saying capable hands would have prevented the occurrence. The Senator also commented on the presidential campaign committee, suggesting that the President should be the one selling the party's product, rather than the party selling itself. On fuel subsidy removal, Ndume expressed his support for the decision, but acknowledged the hardship it has caused for Nigerians.

He urged the APC to concentrate on explaining the government's actions to Nigerians, rather than abusing opponents, and advised the opposition to present workable alternative policies.
