President Tinubu said this on Tuesday during his speech at the inauguration of the Nigeria Revenue Service, NRS, headquarters in Abuja.

n

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.

n

“They’re confused!”
Also, he ended his speech with: “God bless Nigeria, God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria and the tax collectors.”

n

Meanwhile, during his speech, Senator Akpabio alleged that the recent surge in insecurity across Nigeria is politically motivated and linked to the 2027 general elections.

n

Furthermore, Akpabio commented on the reactions provoked by an alleged social media post by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan.

n

He said: “How do you win an election when you don’t have a structure? No political party is stable again in this country.

n

“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.

n

“But the man said it’s manipulated and nobody wants to hear.

n

“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.”
