The President Bola Tinubu-led administration has fired back at Senate Chief Whip Ali Ndume following his criticism that the “Tinubu government is run by incompetent persons.”

In a sharp rebuttal, Tinubu’s media and public affairs aide, Tope Ajayi, lashed out at Ndume, accusing him of prioritizing personal interests and being a “loose cannon and careless talker.”

During an interview on Arise TV on Friday, Ndume claimed that the country was being led by individuals unfit to govern, who prioritize their own interests over the nation’s well-being.

Ajayi, responding via his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, criticized Ndume’s reputation and introspection, stating, “His capacity for introspection is too low.”

Ajayi further alleged that Ndume’s criticism stemmed from personal grievances, adding, “People like him only remember the poor and the fact that ‘Nigerians are suffering’ when their personal agenda and indulgences can’t be met.”

He accused Ndume of hypocrisy, noting, “Senator Ndume does not remember the poor and their children when it is time to fix his own children into CBN, NNPC, and other choice MDAs and state-owned enterprises.”

Ajayi also defended President Tinubu against Ndume’s claims of being out of touch with Nigerians, asserting, “This President is well aware and fully abreast of the current material conditions of Nigerians and he is working very hard to deal with the challenges.”

He acknowledged ongoing economic challenges but insisted that improvements are on the horizon, stating, “The economy is still facing headwinds but things are gradually turning in the positive direction. A President that gets daily briefings from his team, receives cross-sections of Nigerians from all strata of the society almost every day – from business leaders to religious leaders, socio-cultural groups, and professional groups – can’t be falsely accused of being removed from the realities of the people.”

Bayo Onanuga, another aide to the President, also retweeted Ajayi’s post.

“No Valid Reason For Sacking Me As Minister”– Gwarzo Reveals What Tinubu Told Him

“No Valid Reason For Sacking Me As Minister”– Gwarzo Reveals What Tinubu Told Him
Spread the love

 

Ekwutosblog has gathered that the immediate former Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, Abdullahi Gwarzo, has revealed that his dismissal by President Bola Tinubu was politically motivated rather than due to any shortcomings in his ministerial performance.

The former minister added that the President should have chosen the 2023 All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in Kano State, Nasiru Gawuna, as his replacement.

This follows the appointment of Yusuf Ata as the new minister.

In a State House release on October 23, 2024, Tinubu dismissed Gwarzo along with four others, including the Minister of Women Affairs, Uju-Ken Ohanenye; Minister of Tourism, Lola Ade-John; Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman; and the Minister of Youth Development, Dr Jamila Bio Ibrahim.

However, in an interview with BBC Hausa on Saturday, November 9, 2024, Gwarzo stated, “I was surprised because I wasn’t found guilty of any wrongdoing or poor performance. And I was minister of state, with the senior minister overseeing a large portion of the ministry’s activities.

“Before the announcement, the President had informed me of his decision.

“He said Kano North was overloaded with political officers, hence the need to strike a balance. We gave our advice, but it was ignored. From there, I began to suspect that certain individuals were behind this because, to me, that wasn’t a valid reason.”

The former minister remarked that Gawuna, as the party’s leader in Kano Central, should be considered for the ministerial position.

“If the ministerial slot is indeed meant for Kano Central, we have our 2023 governorship candidate, who is also our leader in Kano Central. Why not consider giving him the position?

“Gawuna should be offered the role first, unless he declines, in which case it could be given to someone else.

“All other candidates from Plateau and Zamfara states who contested for the governorships were appointed to positions,” Gwarzo added.
