Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Army, has urged NLC leaders to abandon their planned strike for the sake of Nigerians. He encourages negotiation instead to resolve conflicts with the federal government.
Ndume, Director-General of Godswill Akpabio for Senate President Campaign Organization, urged Tinubu to meet with Labour leaders to explain subsidy removal benefits. He insisted that the fuel subsidy removal must be done now to start the healing process. The NLC should collaborate with the government to reduce the impact. Without subsidy removal, some individuals will exploit the nation. The NLC should negotiate with the government before considering a strike. Don’t make that mistake—no subsidy budget. ” President Tinubu should meet with Labour leaders and provide reassurance about resolving the financial source.”

Senator Ndume said that the appointment of Senator George Akume will calm leaders from the North Central Zone, who were upset about the region’s exclusion from leadership roles in the 10th National Assembly. Ndume praised President Tinubu for his commitment to a peaceful relationship with the National Assembly, unlike previous administrations.
Ndume praised President Tinubu for his campaign promise of ‘Renewed Hope’ and for appointing politicians to head crucial government positions. No rancor; grassroots appointees Akume held many political positions, including governor, minister, senator, and current Secretary to the Government of the Federation. Shettima and the First Lady are both senators. Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President, is an experienced parliamentarian. The Vice President’s Chief of Staff, Ibrahim Hassan Hadejia, is also a senator. No more conflict with the National Assembly, as the Executive will now be led by former members instead of corrupt technocrats and their consultants. Democracy in action Agitation settled for North Central stakeholders. They have the majority thanks to Akume’s appointment. He’ll be a powerful government figure.
