The AYCF stated this while responding to a statement from the Coalition of North-East Elders Forum (CNEF), which rejected Ndume’s recent criticism of Tinubu’s administration.
Ndume recently alleged that the current administration is composed of “kakistocrats” and “kleptocrats,” suggesting that the government is being led by the least competent and most corrupt individuals primarily focused on embezzling resources, a claim that was frowned upon by CNEF.
Reacting, president general of AYCF, Yerima Shettima, accused the CNEF of attempting to suppress dissent and freedom of expression, echoing the foundational democratic values enshrined in both national and international covenants.
