“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 request came days after President Tinubu announced the appointment of Femi Gbajabiamila, outgoing Speaker of the House of Representatives, as his Chief of Staff, and Senator George Akume, former Minister of Special Duties as his secretary to the government of the federation (SGF).
