Former lawmaker, Senator Ben Murray-Bruce, has disclosed a
private conversation he had with President Bola Tinubu before the 2023
presidential election.
In an interview with TVC News on Friday, Murray-Bruce said
the president has fulfilled the promises he made during the conversation.
The former lawmaker said he asked Tinubu, “You are going to
have 36 ministers and ministers of state, how are you going to run the economy
with over 40 people you don’t even know?”
In response, according to him, the president said, “I only
need eight people to run Nigeria”,
The APC chieftain countered opposition figures criticising
the current administration, stating that President Tinubu has kept his campaign
promises.
“He chose the right people, and they have made a difference
to the economy. He also shocked me on the first day in the office when he said
he would deregulate and float the currency.
“Two years after my question to him, he did exactly what I
asked him to do”, the former lawmaker said.
The former lawmaker recently dumped the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, for the All Progressives Congress, APC.
