Ndume Reacts To Rendition Of Tinubu’s Campaign Tune In Senate
Senate Chief Whip Ali Ndume defended the playing of President Bola Tinubu’s campaign song during the presentation of the 2024 budget at the National Assembly on Friday.
During the event earlier in the week, lawmakers showed their respect by standing up, but the band played Tinubu’s campaign song from his time as a presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Despite criticism, Ndume, who represents Borno South, asserted that there is nothing wrong with the gesture. He pointed out that during the era of former President Muhammadu Buhari, lawmakers also recited the ‘Sai Baba’ mantra.
“It is not a crime. Honestly, it is not a big deal. In this country, we pick on trivial things,” he said on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
“When a President walks in, there are times that some members take advantage of that situation to even challenge the President directly.
“When Buhari came some time back, this same thing was done – ‘Sai Baba’ (was chanted). So why should Tinubu’s case be a big deal?”
