Hunger protest: Ndume reveals great danger ahead for Tinubu, issues major warning

• Ali Ndume, the Borno South senator who was recently impeached as the chief whip of the senate for speaking against President Bola Tinubu, has called on the president to address the youths' anger
• Ndume made the call while reacting to the trending planned hunger protest by some Nigerians over the current economic hardship in the country
• However, the senator expressed concerns that the leaders of the protests were unknown and the government would not be able to identify who to call to the table of negotiation

Ali Ndume, the senator representing Kaduna South senatorial district, has told President Bola Tinubu to negotiate with the youths planning to embark on hunger protests across the country.

Ndume, who was recently sacked as chief whip of the Tenth Senate following his criticism of President Tinubu, expressed concerns about the possibility of the protest leading to that of EndSARS.

According to the Senator, the protests' organizers are unknown, making it difficult for the government to identify who to talk to when it comes to negotiation, citing the case of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) that the issue was resolved because there were leaders to engage.

Ndume made the comment while speaking on Channels TV's Politics Today, reacting to the NLC's earlier position. Joe Ajaero, the union president, called on the federal government to speak with the youths rather than reading political meaning into the protest.

Ndume speaks on Tinubu's security achievement

The Borno-born politician also commended President Tinubu's efforts on the issue of insecurity, particularly in fighting the insurgency in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital.

Ndume added that Maiduguri is more secure than the Federal Capital Territory currently, and the recent bombing in the northeast state was caused by some security measures being relaxed.

He urged Nigerians to be patient with President Tinubu, adding that he had just one year in office and he had been a president who always responded to Nigerian concerns.
