Abuja, July 15, 2024 – The Presidency says President Bola Tinubu is not disconnected with Nigerians, but aware of challenges of Nigworking to surmount the economic challenges.
Temitope Ajayi, a Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, said this in a statement in a post on his verified X handle, @TheTope_Ajayi.
Ajayi, who responding to Sen. Alli Ndume’s statement that Nigerian children were dying of hunger, while the president was disconnected with the people, said the President is fully aware and well-informed about the challenges facing the nation.
He said President Tinubu received daily briefings and engaged with various segments of society to ensure he is abreast of the people’s struggles.
, noted that such a leader could not be said to be tensed away from current realities.
He wrote: “Senator Ali Ndume has a horrible reputation for being a loose cannon and careless talker.
“His capacity for introspection is too low. People like him only remember the poor and the fact that “Nigerians are suffering” when their personal agenda and indulgences can’t be met.
“The economy is still facing headwinds, but things are gradually turning in the positive direction.
“A President that gets daily briefings from his team, receives cross-section of Nigerians from all strata of the society almost every day – from business leaders to religious leaders, socio-cultural groups and professional groups can’t be falsely accused of being removed from the realities of the people”, Ajayi said.
