Tinubu
Senate President Godswill Akpabio has urged President Bola Tinubu to warn intransigent ministers in his cabinet, who disregard invitations by the National Assembly.
Akpabio said such ministers have no place in Tinubu’s government because they are not democrats.
The former Akwa Ibom Governor made this call on Wednesday when the President presented 2025 budget estimates of N49.7 tn before a joint session of the National Assembly.
While telling Tinubu before a full house of members of the Senate and the House of Representatives, Akpabio said those who disregard invitation by the National Assembly are not democratic and therefore have no place in his cabinet.
The Senate President emphasized the need for ministers and appointees of the President to respond promptly to the requests of the National Assembly to provide necessary explanations regarding their stewardship.
He said the lawmakers have the constitutional powers to take action when they refuse to appear before the Red and Green chambers.
