President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday jokingly suggested sending Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, to the opposition camp to destabilise them.
Naija News reports that Tinubu made the remark during his speech at the inauguration of the Nigeria Revenue Service headquarters in Abuja.
Speaking at the event, the President teased Akpabio, saying he could deploy him to the opposition side to cause confusion among rival parties.
Tinubu said, “Senate President, I will send you to the other side to represent me. And then you can scatter them to any way you want.
“They’re confused!”
He concluded his speech with a light remark, saying, “God bless Nigeria, God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the tax collectors.”
Akpabio Links Insecurity To Politics
Earlier during his remarks, Akpabio blamed opposition figures, who are jealous of the achievements of President Bola Tinubu, for the rising insecurity in Nigeria.
Speaking on Tuesday during the inauguration of the new headquarters of the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), where he praised Tinubu’s leadership and ongoing reforms, Akpabio said opposition figures were sponsoring bombings to distract Tinubu from governance.
He added that the opposition figures are promoting insecurity and trying to discredit the government because elections are fast approaching.
According to the Senate President, recent security incidents were politically motivated and designed to create fear and discredit the government.
