The senator representing Borno South, Ali Ndume, on Thursday urged President Bola Tinubu to communicate more directly with Nigerians rather than relying on spokespersons to convey his message.
He said the President had been absent from public communication for too long at a time when citizens desperately needed to hear from their leader.
Ndume disclosed this to State House correspondents after meeting Tinubu at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The lawmaker described Thursday’s tête-à-tête as his first encounter with the President in a while, saying he advised the President on the matter directly and that Tinubu promised to look into it.
“I told Mr President that he should reach out more. I also advised him, and he promised to look into it and speak directly to Nigerians.
