Buhari Wasn’t In Charge When He Was President – Senator Ndume
The Chief Whip of the 10th Senate, Ali Ndume, has claimed that ex-President, Muhammadu Buhari was not in control of his administration like his successor, President Bola Tinubu.
Ndume also said Buhari failed to take control of and oversee the activities of his appointees.
The Senator made this remarks while speaking on Friday on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

Ndume had expressed confidence in the 2024 budget recently presented to the National Assembly by Tinubu, saying he has trust in the current president.
He said, “I believe in President Tinubu, I think he can change things. The President here is in charge, that’s one thing with him.
“Sometimes people even think Tinubu is too authoritative. No, he takes charge; unlike our former President who will just give you an assignment and will not look over you. That’s where the problem is, and he knows that. That was the mistake President Buhari did.”
Ndume added that Buhari later agreed with his claim that his administration was full of those he called kleptocrats.
