Senator Ali Ndume has warned President Bola Tinubu that there will be political consequences if he insists on moving some departments of the CBN and the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) headquarters to Lagos.
He called on the president to remember that the votes that brought him to power did not come from Lagos. Ndume urged him to note that some of the “boys” advising do not know any part of the country except Lagos.
Ndume added that if Abuja offices are congested, president Tinubu should consider moving some Federal parastatals to neighbouring states like Nasarawa and environs.
The Borno Senator said, “Some of them think that they know better than everybody. But they don’t know anything. When you don’t know Nigeria, you only know Lagos, then you start doing things as if Nigeria is Lagos. Lagos is in Nigeria. That’s a wrong decision.
“We will not accept it. Besides, you know, they are not doing any favour to Mr. President, because this will have political consequence. Yes. I’m telling you this.
