Human rights activist Comrade Deji Adeyanju has expressed strong support for Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume’s steadfastness in standing with Nigerians despite facing opposition.
In a statement, Adeyanju praised Senator Ndume for his bold stance and unwavering commitment to speaking truth to power, even after being removed as Senate Chief Whip.
“Senator Ali Ndume has taken the uncharted path of highlighting the government’s failings. Despite being part of the ruling party, he has shown rare courage by siding with Nigerians who are increasingly being impoverished by harsh government policies,” Adeyanju said.
Adeyanju urged other politicians to follow Ndume’s example and prioritize truth and accountability.
“I commend Senator Ndume for his forthrightness and urge him to continue speaking truth to power. At a time when praise singers dominate the corridors of power, it is commendable to see Senator Ndume stepping up to fight for Nigerians.”
He also called on the government and political leaders to appreciate Ndume’s efforts rather than view him as an adversary.
“The government and political leaders should not see Senator Ndume as an enemy but should be wary of praise singers and sycophants who mask the true state of the nation.
When history recalls this period, posterity will remember that you did not capitulate to partisan fellowship but broke ranks when it was not fashionable to do so,” Adeyanju added.
