The senator representing Borno South senatorial district, Ali Ndume, met and greeted President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the National Mosque in Abuja.
Ndume has been criticizing the policies, especially the tax reform bills of President Tinubu, describing them as anti-north.
In the photo shared by Olusegun Dada, the special assistant to President Tinubu on social media, Ndume was captured smiling as he shakes Tinubu after the Jumat service on Friday, January, 10.

Captain 1 @eorcester777
Why do you show these pictures like they mean anything?? Photographers follow your president everywhere, and out of courtesy they greet him or shake hands and you translate as whatever you want to represent it as..

Ndume identifies 3 issues with Tinubu’s tax reforms
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Ndume noted that he is a friend of President Tinubu but wondered why the government is in a hurry to pass the tax reform bill into law.
Ndume voiced concerns over the Tax Reform Bill introduced by President Tinubu’s administration, citing its “wrong timing” as one of his primary objections.
The lawmaker explained his grouse with the reforms by Tinubu and even threatened to leave APC.
