The All Progressives Congress has said that the inability of Sen. Mohammed Ndume to access President Bola Tinubu cannot justify his outlandish declaration that the president had been “caged”.
The party in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Felix Morka, on Saturday reacting to comments credited to Ndume, the Chief Whip of the Senate, saying President Tinubu had been “caged”, slammed the lawmaker.
Ndume while saying that securing financial autonomy for Local Governments was the greatest achievement of Tinubu since he assumed office in 2023, also said that he was unaware of existential challenges in the country.
“The latest outburst in the media by the senator representing Borno South, and Chief Whip of the 10th Senate, Sen. Mohammed Ali Ndume, claiming that President Tinubu has been caged.
“And unaware of existential challenges in the country is as haughty as it is unnecessary.
“As a Senator, Ndume has a platform of the National Assembly to raise and address matters that he may consider to be in the national interest.
“He also has access to the entire machinery of the Federal Government,” the APC spokesman said.
