Borno South lawmaker, Senator Ali Ndume, has emphasized the need for broader reforms across all levels of government and governance in Nigeria.
Ndume also dismissed suggestions that he is against reforms in the country, emphasizing that the reforms needed in Nigeria are much more than the tax reforms proposed by President Bola Tinubu.
The Senator submitted that the government, the people, the attitude and other areas of national life, all need to be reformed.
Egalitarian Voice reports Ndume made his views known while speaking during an interview with Arise News published on Friday.
“That is the major problem. You know my grounds with the reforms. Nigeria needs to be reformed, not only the tax.

“The government, the whole country needs to be reformed—not only in terms of governors. In terms of our people, our people’s attitude to governance needs to be changed through national reorientation. So I support reforms, but the timing is important. Where it would start is more important because, to me, the easiest and fastest thing to do is to reform the government,” he said.
Speaking further, Ndume said the spending of the Nigerian government is overbloated and needs to be cut down.
