Ali Ndume, the Senator representing Borno South, has alleged that some close aides and fifth columnists are working hard to sabotage the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
He claimed that the elements are responsible for the introduction of some harsh policies by the current administration.
In a statement issued on Friday, Mr Ndume noted that the astronomical increase in the prices of fuel, food, essential goods and services in the country is threatening the very existence of Nigerians.
He, therefore, appealed to the president to consider the plight of Nigerians and reduce fuel and food prices.
The former Senate Chief Whip lamented that farmers in Borno could no longer transport their goods to the market for sale due to the high cost of transpiration.
He said: “I personally believe President Bola Ahmed Tinubu means well for Nigeria and Nigerians. I know this because I know what he stands for. But some of his advisers who don’t mean well for the people of this country give him wrong advice.
“I’m appealing to him to resist these bad people who want to pitch the people against his administration. The hardship these people are inflicting on Nigerians is becoming unbearable.
“As soon as the President returns to Nigeria, I urge him to look into these issues and address them urgently. The purchasing power of Nigerians is too poor, and they can’t afford the things that are being pushed on them every day by enemies of state.”
