Speaking in a humorous tone, President Bola Tinubu jokingly remarked that he would dispatch Senate President Godswill Akpabio to the opposition camp to “scatter them.”
President Tinubu said this on Tuesday during his speech at the inauguration of the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) headquarters in Abuja.
He said, “Senate President, I will send you to the other side to represent me.
“And then you can scatter them any way you want.
“They’re confused!”
Also, he ended his speech with: “God bless Nigeria, God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the tax collectors.”
Meanwhile, Senator Akpabio, during his address at the event, alleged that the recent surge in insecurity across Nigeria is politically motivated and linked to the 2027 general election.
Furthermore, Akpabio commented on the reactions provoked by an alleged social media post by the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan.
He said, “How do you win an election when you don’t have a structure?
“No political party is stable again in this country.
“Then they changed and attacked the people going to do the election.
“Then they brought out a tweet where the INEC chairman (allegedly) said: ‘Victory is sure.’
“But he didn’t say victory is sure for APC or PDP.
“But the man said it’s manipulated, and nobody wants to hear.
“For me, whether manipulated or not, he said, victory is sure.
“He was not chairman of INEC then; he was just a lecturer, and anybody can support whoever he wishes to.”
