Why Senate did not ask Taiwo Oyedele to take a bow – Akpabio

‎Senate President Godswill Akpabio has given reasons the Senate did not ask Taiwo Oyedele to take a bow and go during his ministerial screening.

‎

‎Speaking during the screening on Wednesday, Akpabio said Nigerians who were listening to him were getting more educated.

‎

‎Akpabio said Oyedele would have a lot of working documents to study in his office and to know the kind of policies to generate and which areas to touch.

‎

‎According to him, such policies would assist Nigeria to put the economy on the right footing.

‎

‎“It’s also possible that we could have said, take a bow and go, but Nigerians out there who are listening to you are getting more educated,” Akpabio said.

‎

‎It  had reported that the Senate on Wednesday confirmed the appointment of Oyedele as a minister-designate barely 24 hours after President Bola Tinubu asked the red chamber to screen him.

‎

‎The President had nominated him as Minister of State for Finance, replacing Dr Doris Anite-Uzoka.
