Presidency names those in charge of Nigeria

The Presidency on Wednesday, named the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume and the Ministers as those in charge of the country’s leadership in the absence of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima.

Recall that both the President and Vice President are currently abroad while the presidency insists that leadership remains steady and that there is no vacuum in the country.

There have been enquiries by well-meaning individuals as to who is in charge of the country in the absence of the first and second citizens.

The Presidency, in a statement signed by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, recalled a similar situation during the immediate past administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The statement noted that the President and Vice President are fully engaged with the nation’s affairs, even while they are away.
