Deji Adeyanju, a prominent human rights activist, has advised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to view Senator Ali Ndume of Borno South as a valuable ally rather than an adversary.
Adeyanju emphasized the importance of being cautious of individuals who only seek to gain favor with empty praises.
In a carefully crafted statement, Adeyanju praised Ndume for his courageous stance in highlighting the current challenges faced by the nation. Despite being a member of the ruling party, Ndume has chosen to align himself with the Nigerian people who are grappling with the adverse effects of government policies.
Adeyanju commended Ndume’s integrity and encouraged him to continue speaking truth to power. In a time when sycophants dominate positions of influence, Senator Ndume’s commitment to fighting for the welfare of Nigerians is highly commendable.
Addressing President Tinubu directly, Adeyanju urged him not to perceive Ndume as an adversary. Instead, he implored Tinubu and other political leaders to exercise caution when dealing with individuals who seek to manipulate the truth for their own gain.
Adeyanju concluded his statement by emphasizing that history will remember Ndume for his unwavering dedication to the Nigerian people, even when it was not popular to do so.
It is crucial for the government and political leaders to recognize the importance of truth and to be vigilant against the influence of praise singers and sycophants who hide the true state of the nation.
