“Because there is no name for special advisers we will just approve it from here. We feel that that this is something of utmost urgency,” the senate president said.
The development came days after Tinubu announced the appointment of Femi Gbajabiamila, outgoing speaker of the House of Representatives, as his Chief of Staff, and George Akume, former minister of special duties, as his secretary to the government of the federation (SGF).
