Ndume further claimed that those aligned with the President would come after him for his statements.<\/p>\n<p>Bwala, however, countered strongly, saying: \u201cI doubt if Tinubu knows about the activities of Ndume; you see, he cries like a baby, a toddler.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me tell you, with respect to the issue of access to the president, we had to work with order. National Assembly leadership said all schedules to meet with the President should be coordinated with their leadership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is supposed to be fighting with the National Assembly. Every day, if he doesn\u2019t call this aide of Mr President, he will call another person and he is supposed to be an elder statesman?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe even came here and used very bad word. If you call him out, he would send his people to be issuing death threats \u2013 the other time that I called him out, I got death threats.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNdume in crisis economy is like Dangote and Otedola in private sector economy. He thrives in crisis economy. He brags about it, \u2018I have boys and I can do that\u2019; that is his stock-in-trade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reputation of Ndume in the eyes of the world before today is what?
