The senator representing Borno South, Ali Ndume, has claimed that former President Muhammadu Buhari was never in charge of his government.
He said the ex-President played a lesser supervisory role, unlike the President Bola Tinubu.
Buhari was elected President of Nigeria in 2015 and he led for eight years, handing over to his partyman, Tinubu in 2023.
During the period of Buhari’s eight years, especially in his second tenure, most Nigerians shared the opinion that he was never there.
Ndume, who appeared on Friday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today, insisted that some kleptocrats were in the immediate past administration.
“The President here is in charge. He takes charge, unlike our former President. That President will just give you an assignment, he will not look over you,” Ndume said.
“That is where the problem is and he (Buhari) knows that. That was the mistake President Buhari made.
“He ended up confessing these days that he had more kleptocrats in his government that people that has more interest at heart.”
