The Progressive Students Movement (PSM), a foremost pan-African students movement, has urged distinguished lawmakers to always proffer solutions to economic hardship and stop making derogatory statements on President Bola Tinubu’s office.
The President of PSM, Amb. Bestman Okereafor, said this in a statement on Thursday in Enugu while reacting to the recent comment of the Senate Chief Whip, Sen. Ali Ndume, on President Tinubu’s office.
Okereafor noted that the attention of the movement had been drawn to diminishing, insensitive, yet derogatory statements made by Sen. Ndume.
According to him, as progressives, PSM, consider this recent statement from the senate chief whip as diminishing and derogatory to the esteemed office of the executive President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
He said: “PSM strongly believe President Tinubu Is fully in-charge and still remains the Grand Commander of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“President Tinubu has functional public affairs managers; and must we remind Sen. Ndume of the Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria headed by Dr Bosun Tijani, formerly known as the Federal Ministry of Communications Technology.
“It was primarily created to foster a knowledge-based economy and information society in Nigeria.
“And there is also the Ministry of Information and National Orientation headed by Alhaji Mohammed Idris, a man with a high pedigree in broadcasting, press, public relations and advertising sectors spanning over three decades.
“It becomes laughable to say that President Tinubu does not have public affairs managers. The President does not just only have public affairs managers but seasoned ones as such.”
The PSM boss called on Ndume to proffer open solutions to the security challenges and other issues facing the nation especially in his senatorial district, even as Vice-President, Dr Kashim Shettima, is co-incidentally from Borno State.
He said: “The senate chief whip was only insensitive and ignorant of the fact that his derogatory submission about President Tinubu is inimical to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), a party he also belongs to.
“Finally, we are imploring President Tinubu to as a matter of urgency address the mirage of issues confronting the nation, which includes but not limited to economic hardship, insecurity, unemployment, scarcity and unregulated sale of fuel among several others.”
It would be recalled that Sen. Ndume alleged: “Mr President is not in the picture of what is happening outside the Villa. He has been fenced off and caged. Many of us won’t go through the backdoor to engage him.
“Now, they have stopped him from talking, and he doesn’t have public affairs managers, except for his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, who writes press statements. Nigerians are getting very angry.”
