Senate Chief Whip, Senator Ali Ndume, has raised an alarm that some personalities in the Presidential Villa are allegedly sugar-coating the situation of Nigeria to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The Federal lawmaker said those individuals are allegedly painting the wrong perspectives and feeding the President with lies.

According to him, Tinubu is allegedly held captive by those forces peddling falsehoods to him in the Presidential Villa, and he is only listening to their advice.

Ndume made the allegation while speaking with journalists at the National Assembly complex in Abuja.

He queried why nothing appreciable has been done in recent times to deescalate the security challenge in the country, which remained a permanent threat to food security.

He said: “Mr President is not in the picture of what is happening outside the villa. He has been fenced off and caged. So 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 that his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, who writes press statements.

“Nigerians are getting very, very angry. The government is not doing anything about the food scarcity and it needs to do something urgently. We don’t have a food reserve.

“There is unavailability of food. The food crisis is the worst crisis that any nation can encounter. If we add that to the security crisis, it will be severe.

“The president should wake up, it seems he isn’t in the picture of what is happening because he has been caged off.

“He has been fenced off by plutocrats. He should open his doors and meet those who will tell him the truth. Unfortunately, the people who will tell him the truth won’t struggle to meet him.

“I am very worried not only for the president himself, but myself.”
