He had also opposed the tax reform bills transmitted by the president to the National Assembly, even threatening to leave the All Progressives Congress (APC) over the proposed legislation.
Clarifying his comment, Ndume stated that his criticism was not personal but aimed at improving governance for the betterment of the nation.
“I am not criticising the president but his policies. I am not a critic of this government; it is our government.
In all of my criticism, I don’t criticise my elders. Tinubu is my senior; I respect him, though I disagree with him in some cases in order for us to agree for the betterment of Nigeria, but he is surrounded with… I don’t want to use another word that will cause me another suspension. I criticise policies, not Tinubu. I criticised the policies of Buhari, but I’m closer to Tinubu than Buhari. I respect Tinubu, but I disagree with him in some areas, hoping we will agree soon,” he said.
Sharing a context of a viral video showing himself and President Tinubu in a jovial mood, Ndume revealed that the president had questioned his infrequent visits to the Presidential Villa, to which he responded that he had never been invited. Tinubu then extended an invitation, saying he could visit that night.
“The president is one of my mentors. He only said, ‘Why do I not come to the villa?’ I told him that he didn’t ask me to, and he said I can come tonight,” Ndume recounted.
Ndume also shared details of the president’s attendance at his daughter’s wedding, which coincided with the Nigerian Army Remembrance Day.What Is Your Opinion On This? The Table Is Turning.

“He said he is attending my daughter’s wedding, even though it coincided with the Nigerian Army Remembrance Day. So, after the ceremony, I was expecting him to leave. He said he is not going anywhere and that he is going to attend the wedding. That is what actually happened,” Ndume added.Pr0ceed W!th Y0ur Reading, F0r Better V!ew
