Former lawmaker, Ben Murray-Bruce, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu has done a commendable job.
Speaking during an interview with TVC News on Thursday, Murray-Bruce disclosed the conversation he had with President Bola Tinubu before the 2023 presidential election.
According to Murray-Bruce, Tinubu has fulfilled the promises he made during the conversation.
He stated that the President told him that he only needed eight people to run Nigeria.
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).
