In a scathing critique, Senator Ali Ndume, Chief Whip of the Nigerian Senate, has denounced the Tinubu government as a “kakistocracy”, alleging that it is being run by the most incompetent and corrupt individuals.
Ndume expressed his dismay at the government’s ineptitude, stating that those in charge are unfit to govern and are prioritizing their personal interests over the nation’s well-being. He specifically criticized recent policies, such as the cybercrime levy, and highlighted the pressing issue of hunger and food scarcity plaguing the country.
The Senator’s remarks are a stark indictment of the government’s performance, and his use of the term “kakistocracy” – meaning a government run by the worst or least qualified citizens – underscores the depth of his concern.
