Akpabio Under Pressure to Punish Ndume Over Recent Statement Against Tinubu

The persistent critique of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s governance by the Chief Whip of the Senate, Ali Ndume is drawing the ire of influential forces within the Presidency.

VOP NEWS understands that these forces, upset by Ndume’s remarks about a new cabal in the Villa, have initiated steps to censure him.

Ndume, representing Borno South, expressed concerns last week that President Tinubu has been “caged” by a cabal within the Presidential Villa, preventing ministers and other key figures from having direct access to him.

He also mentioned that these forces do not truly understand the economic challenges Nigerians face due to current policies.

In response, a coordinated effort involving the national leadership of the All-Progressives Congress (APC) and Senate President Godswill Akpabio is reportedly underway. Their aim is to reprimand Ndume for his statements, which they consider embarrassing to the President and detrimental to the image of the ruling party.
