Tinubu Is The Bad Person And That Is An Understatement – Aisha Yesufu Replies Senator Ndume After He Blamed President’s Cabals

Human rights activist, Aisha Yesufu, has described President Bola Tinubu as a “bad person” in the face of the growing hardship faced by millions of Nigerians.

Senator Ali Ndume, representing Borno South senatorial district, had stated that certain individuals were pushing “harmful policies” under the President Bola Tinubu-led government instead of focusing on controlling inflation and stabilising the exchange rate.

Ndume who affirmed that the people are working to undermine Tinubu’s administration, had expressed concerns over the rising prices of fuel, food, and essential goods, which he said have become unaffordable for the majority of Nigerians.

In a statement issued on Friday, Ndume had advised Tinubu to address the suffering caused by hyperinflation, which has been worsened by the frequent price hikes of essential goods and services.

He added that many families were struggling to meet their daily needs.

His statement had read in part; “Those who are bent on making the President look bad will stop at nothing in inflicting pain on Nigerians through the so-called reforms until things get out of hand, and the blame will be on President Tinubu.

“I believe President Tinubu means well for Nigeria and Nigerians. I know this because I know what he stands for. But some of his advisers who don’t mean well to the people of this country give him wrong advice.

“I’m appealing to him to resist these bad people who want to pitch the people against his administration. The hardship these people are inflicting on Nigerians is becoming unbearable. I’m currently in Borno, and I know what I’m talking about. People are really suffering, hungry, frustrated, and angry.

“Many families here can’t even feed anymore. The untold hardship caused by these frequent price increases is unimaginable. Farmers can’t move their products because of the high cost of transportation.

“Those who manage to transport goods pass the costs onto consumers, making food items too expensive. People can’t even afford to travel anymore. For instance, traveling by road from Abuja to Maiduguri is now a fortune. How many people can afford that?”

“That’s why I’m begging him to do something before it is too late. It is not good to test the patience of Nigerians, and that’s exactly what these bad advisers are doing,” he said.

“As soon as the President returns to Nigeria, I urge him to look into these issues and address them urgently. The purchasing power of Nigerians is too poor, and they can’t afford the things being pushed on them every day by enemies of the state,” Ndume advised.

However, Yesufu while reacting to Ali Ndume’s statement on Saturday in a series of post on X, said Tinubu is the bad person.

Yesufu wrote: “Tinubu is the bad person. Call a spade a spade and not a garden implement.

“A bad person’ is an understatement. I said Tinubu is THE bad person,” she wrote. (SaharaReporters)
