Akpabio Tells Tinubu Ministers That Have No Place In His Government

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has told President Bola Tinubu that there are some Ministers who don’t belong in his government because they are undemocratic.

According to Akpabio, such ministers disregard invitations from the National Assembly, and their actions should not be tolerated.

The Senate President described such officials as “intransigent ministers” and urged Tinubu to caution them.

Akpabio added that not honouring invitations by the National Assembly is against the country’s constitution and hinders the lawmakers from carrying out their functions effectively.

“Those who disregard invitation by the National Assembly are not democratic and therefore have no place in your government,” Akpabio told Tinubu during the presentation of the 2025 budget figures to a joint session of the National Assembly.

In another news, President Bola Tinubu says he has no plans to reverse the economic reforms embarked upon by his administration.

President Tinubu noted that the journey has not been easy, but it is a necessary sacrifice Nigerians have to pay for the greater good of the nation.

He acknowledged the difficulties Nigerians have had to endure as a result of the economic reforms and urged the citizens to believe in the process, promising that there would be light at the end of the tunnel.

Naija News reports the President made the declaration on Wednesday while delivering his speech during the presentation of the ₦47.9 trillion 2025 budget proposal to a joint sitting of the National Assembly in Abuja.
